With good care, I've seen them as old as 14! You can see his age as he's slowed down alot... but he's still a solid brut. Just has some arthritis - which we're treating

tyson is always the guy I think of when I think of older healthy bullies too :D

8 years is just not long enough...

I agree, it goes by so incredibly fast - so sad. I hate that dogs have such shorter life spans, I wished they lived as long as humans

But yes, Tyson still has pep in his step

I disagree here, we have had some very young ones pass here and they were looked after very well I do agree thou that if you care for them and feed them properly they will survive longer but as I said not always the way sadly.

As in many forms of life, good genes certainly do help don't they? Mine are both 5years old this year and I really cannot bear to think of life without them. They ARE my life.

2 years ago I saw on that FB page a bully that was 16, I didn't believe it and called their bluff and they posted her breed papers, LOL!

I was told a long time ago, if you give them the best food you can find, the best medical care and the MOST love and attention they can live to a very ripe age. I believe that, there are many that live past 10 and 12.

Not so long ago (december '15) on the facebook page of an English Bulldog rescue in the Netherlands there was the following post about this sweet little girl named Bello Ro celebrating her 16th bithday

Here in Germany is a reputable breeder who breeds EBDs since 1978. Her goal is breeding very healthy English Bulldogs. She presents (with pictures) some of her seniorbullys of all those years on her homepage: a 16 years old girl, a 15 years old girl, an 11 years old boy, two 10 years old girls, a 12 years old girl, two 11 years old girls, a 12 and a half years old boy.

My Püppy is not from this breeder, but from another kennel. Her grandfather became 11 years old; he could have gotten older if he didn't have gotten blind. Püppy's dad celebrated his 10 th birthday last year.

Our BeBe is 10 now and still doing well. A friend of ours had one that was 15. I think keeping them on the lean side does help keep them healthy.
