How long do Smooth Fox Terriers live?

Smooth Fox Terriers can live about 12 to 15 years. Compared to similar breeds, like the Jack Russell Terrier, who can also live around 13 to 16 years, or the Beagle, who averages 12 to 15 years, Smooth Fox Terriers are right in the same ballpark.

When it comes to factors that influence their longevity, a lot depends on diet, exercise, genetics, a safe environment, and regular vet check-ups. Keeping them active and engaged, with a balanced diet and good healthcare, can help them stay healthy and happy well into their senior years. Genetics also play a big role — if their parents were long-lived and healthy, they’ve got a good chance of the same.
