Q: Pond, bog, swamp, marsh, fen---what are the differences? A: People commonly describe wetlands with words like pond, bog, marsh, fen, and swamp, thinking these are mostly interchangeable. Actually, there are careful definitions for each of these names.
So here is some information caring for a Labrador Retriever. The life span of a healthy Labrador is anything between 10 to 13 years. Some Labradors also live up to the age of 14. You may have noticed that I used to word healthy Labradors. This is because Labradors can be prone to diseases.
I've heard an average of about 12 years. Heredity and diet can make a big difference. I had a yellow lab who died pretty suddenly at 10, but I know someone with a lab that is 18 years old. My current black lab is a rescue, so I don't know his age.
