Greenacres, Fla. – A new record for the world’s oldest dog living has been confirmed in Greenacres, Florida, USA.
Chihuahua TobyKeith (USA, b. 9 January 2001) had his record verified at the grand old age of 21 years 66 days on 16 March 2022.
TobyKeith’s owner, Gisela Shore, has been with him for the vast majority of his life, after adopting him from an animal shelter when he was just a few months old.
Gisela started to consider that TobyKeith could be the oldest dog living when he turned 20.
In fact, now 21 years 3 months 5 days old at the time of writing, TobyKeith has far exceeded the usual life expectancy of an average Chihuahua, which can range from 12 to 18 years.
