Tibetan spaniel
The longest-lived breed here: a 2024 UK study put the Tibetan Spaniel's life expectancy at just over 15 years. Weighing 4 to 7 kg, it trots contentedly at your side, is satisfied with a modest daily walk, and its flat, medium-length coat needs a weekly brush rather than a groomer. It is independent, aloof with strangers and quick to bark at the door, which some people living alone find reassuring and others find tiresome.
