Rocco is aged 17 years and seven months - putting him just six months behind the oldest French Bulldog ever
This French Bulldog could be the oldest in the world - and its owner says its long life is down to "love" and "attention". Reuben Ford reckons his 17-year-old pet Rocco is the top dog when it comes to age.
Reuben said: “People typically ask ‘what’s the secret’, ‘what medicine do you give him’ or ‘what do you feed him’. The answer to all three is love, a healthy diet and lots of attention. When Rocco turned 16, friends, Frenchie enthusiasts and veterinarians commented he was the oldest Frenchie they had ever heard of."
He is aged 17 years and seven months - putting him just six months behind the oldest French Bulldog ever. Popeye died in 2021 aged 18 years, three months, and eight days. Due to his age, Reuben says vets have confirmed that Rocco is typical of the breed before fashion trends impacted the physical characteristics of the dog. He has a slimmer build and slightly longer muzzle than modern ‘designer dogs’ - which are characterised by their smaller frame, snub nose, flat face and stocky body.
