Interesting. My old yellow lab will be 14 this Oct. 18. Pretty healthy yet, but pretty stiff in the joints. Thanks for the info.....

Ive had 2 Black labs that lasted to about 15, I guess I got lucky. Love those Labs.. I was wondering why St Bernard and Newfoundland werent mentioned, but I imagine that with their extreme size they live less than smaller dogs. And by the way that they drool, they may not be a favorite. Thanks for posting.

i have a Great Dane which has an 8-10 year lifespan. They are such great dogs and so good with children but the feed bill is killing me!!
