About the aging Labrador Retriever. Since the average life span of a Labrador is 10-12 years, you must consider a 7-8 year old Labrador aged and in the later one third of his life.
According to this model, a Bulldog will age an average of 13 years per human year whereas a Miniature Dachshund only ages about four years. Unfortunately they only calculated the 3+ year ratio for a handful of dog breeds, but this means that my 1-year old Border Collie, Scuttle, is about 10.5 in human years!
