According to heroviral.com, many people have heard that in order to get a dog’s age in human years, you take how old they are and multiply it by seven.
That can provide you with a rough estimate as to when your dog is experiencing his senior years. There are a few dogs who live well to fifteen and sixteen years of age… but rarely has there ever been a dog who has lived to the ripe age of thirty!
Maggie, a Kelpie that lives in Australia, is estimated to be about twenty-nine to thirty years of age. The human equivalent of that is about two hundred years old! Love and daily exercise have been attributed to her long life: she spends about half of her day sleeping and the other half following her owner around the farm as he tends to his animals.
According to Wikipedia, the Australian Kelpie, or simply Kelpie, is an Australian sheep dog successful at mustering and droving with little or no guidance. It is a medium-sized dog and comes in a variety of colours. The Kelpie has been exported throughout the world and is used to muster livestock, primarily sheep, cattle and goats.

The breed has been separated into two distinct varieties: the Show (or Bench) Kelpie and the Working Kelpie. The Show Kelpie is seen at conformation dog shows in some countries and is selected for appearance rather than working instinct, while the Working Kelpie is bred for working ability rather than appearance.
