This is a list of the oldest verified dogs in the world, listed by age, all of whom have attained the minimum age of 20. Aging in dogs depends on breed, size and diet. Bramble, a larger dog, was fed a vegan diet, living over 27 years. [1]
Oldest verified dogs by age
The following canines' ages were authenticated via Guinness World Records.[not specific enough to verify] A document is required by Guinness, such as a birth certificate, to prove his or her age as true.[citation needed]

"Jake" was born July 21, 1994 and became the "oldest dog living" by Guinness standards on his 21st birthday. This is documented in numerous publications that can be found online, etc, including this link to a story about the world's oldest living cat.

"Jake" passed away on July 27, 2015.
Notes
- ↑ One of the oldest verified dogs (and several unverified) was an Australian Cattle Dog. This has prompted a study of the longevity of the Australian Cattle Dog to examine if the breed might have exceptional longevity. The 100-dog survey yielded a mean longevity of 13.41 years with a standard deviation of 2.36 years.[4] The study concluded that while Australian Cattle Dogs are a healthy breed and do live on average almost a year longer than most dogs of other breeds in the same weight class, record ages such as Bluey's ("Verified") or Chilla's ("Unverified")[5] should be regarded as uncharacteristic exceptions rather than as indicators of common exceptional longevity for the entire breed.
