Wolfhounds: Dead at Age Seven on Average



A study of canine mortality among 350,000 insured dogs in Sweden found that 91% of the wolfhounds were dead by age 10, and that 28 percent had died by age 5.

Half were dead by age seven, and only 37 percent were still alive at age eight.

And this for a breed that does not stop growing until age three!

    Look on the bright side, a great breed for those that don't want a 15 year commitment to a dog.
