Chanel #21

Oldest dog ever on record? That would be Bluey, the Australian Shepard, who died in 1939 and the age of 29 (203 in people years). In fact, just last year a Beagle from Virginia almost tied the record but passed away at age 28.

Oldest living dog? Everyone knows Chanel the dachsund owns the title. She just turned 21 (147 to us) and wears dog goggles to protect her cataracts. Here's a New York Post article and a video showing Chanel in all her glory.

They should do a Golden Girls re-make with Chanel as the family dog. I would watch...but would anyone else? GO HERE if you're curious for more facts about aging in dogs.
