Not So Great Dane



The latest Great Dane breed health survey from the British Kennel Club:

  • The median age at death for Great Danes was 6 years and 6 months...


  • The median current age of all dogs with one or more disease conditions and a reported age was 4 years and 9 months.


  • The median age at diagnosis for all disease occurrences with a reported age at diagnosis was 2 years.

This is of REPORTED dogs -- there is a natural bias to not report when dogs are less healthy, so this is the most optimistic population data.
