About Bluey (long-lived dog)
Bluey (7 June 1910 – 14 November 1939) was a female Australian Cattle Dog owned by Les and Rosalie Hall of Rochester, Victoria. She holds the Guinness World Record as the oldest verified dog to have ever lived. The record was briefly disputed by Bobi, but Bobi's certification was revoked by Guinness due to the lacking evidence, after veterinarians came forward challenging Bobi's claimed age. Additionally, Bluey's title was also challenged by many other dogs including Max, Chilla, Maggie, and Bella, though they were never verified. == Life == Bluey was born 7 June 1910 in Rochester, Victoria, Australia and was acquired by William Hall in 1910. After William's death, Bluey was passed to his son Les and his wife. It is claimed Bluey worked as a cattle and sheep dog for about 20 years before retiring. According to Guinness World Records, Bluey was the oldest-lived dog ever verified, having lived 29 years and 5 months (1910–1939) before being euthanised. Many other owners have also made claims for longer-lived dogs—including Max, Maggie, and Bella—however, these claims have not been independently verified. Despite attempts to overthrow her record, as of 2026, Bluey still holds the title.
