Badanie przeprowadzone w Wielkiej Brytanii na ponad 580 000 psach wykazało, że mniejsze psy z długimi nosami, jak jamniki miniaturowe i shiba inus, mają najdłuższą średnią długość życia. Ogólnie mediana życia piesków wynosiła 12,5 roku, a co chyba najbardziej zaskakujące, psy rasowe żyły dłużej niż mieszańce, co stoi w sprzeczności z powszechnym przekonaniem o długowieczności kundelków.
