Poodle
They are sassy and fashionable, but this is not all poodles are about! They might seem fancy and pretentious, but they are also some of the dogs with the longest lifespans. Poodles can live up to 20 years! A long life with no health issues? This sounds like a jackpot.
Often mistaken for being all fluff and no fun, these pups are actually pretty athletic, and they have an extensive history as hunting dogs. No matter their size—standard, miniature, or toy—they are intelligent and always ready for some action. This trait makes them one of the easiest breeds to train.
When it comes to health, they generally don’t have any major problems. As they are, the most common concern would be hip dysplasia, followed by retinal atrophy and Addison’s disease. But you shouldn’t worry too much because simple routine check-ups at the vet should keep the problem at bay.

I have had 2 mix bread dogs that I had adopted from the pound 1 was a Doberman/black lab mix and he lived to be over 17 years old and only had problems with his hips when he was in the twilight of his life and the other one a Rottweiler and black lab mix and he lived to be 17 years old as well and I had trained him to be my service dog and he was very smart and loved to learn and I have trained both of them with affection training because you don’t always have a treat on you all the time
