I know they say it's better not to reveal these details with some patients, and that I wouldn't know, but I suspect it could be true. I can only say that since my pdoc has been totally honest with me that I have a much better working relationship with him than I've ever had with my prior ones.
By admin on May 13, 2009 in Labrador Health. If you are new dog owner, especially a Labrador owner, you will be will quite anxious to know how to take care of your little bundle of joy and also its life expectancy. 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.
Larger dogs live shorter life spans in general so some bigger APBT's/bullies can have shorter life spans. Small dogs like breeds under 30lbs can live for a really long time, breeds like great Dane's have life spans around 7 years. Most dogs will average 10-13 years and APBT's tend to live longer than most dogs. You can go to several sources to find breed life spans but the one I found most reliable is 13-15. Most APBT's in my house and in my dogs lineage have long life spans of 14-16 years my bigger dogs tend to have spans of 10-12. So if they live a healthy life and are smaller the chances your dog will live longer increase.
