The only validation they have is vet records, I could literally sign my dog up to a vet and tell them she's 20. They wouldn't know any difference, as they can't magically determine the exact age of a dog. \nMy final point is how strange the news has come out after that little chihuahua broke the record a few months ago.

That dog isn't 30 and anyone with a senior dog will agree. A 30 yo dog might still act like a puppy and run around but that doesn't mean it's not going to show signs of aging. Unless they can prove they've dyed the snout of their dog every week and have paid for laser eye surgery for it's cataracts then I will never believe this. That dog looks 5-7 years old. It's a larger dog too so less likely to live as long as a small breed which makes it even more dubious.
