So, at the moment we have some dogs living at 14 (Milo, Bluette, Borka) and some dogs who reached 18 (Esta), 17 (Asta and Bruna)....
Not much info I suppose...

Master of obvious o/


I guess would be interesting try to make an statistic for know in what age most of CzW dies, for what we can see now seems that they live pretty longer than most of the big sized breeds of the group 1.

I know about some breeds, like Bernese Mountain dog wich the low longevity is a huge problem.

That was exactly what I was interested in, unfortunately data on birth is easy to get, data on death not, because you are not always obliged to declare the death of a dog, so it's hard to say.
Also I was interested in knowing if we could "identify" a longer living line amongst the others.
I mean, it's not so interesting for Breeders who use the dogs mostly when young but...for owners it is.
I can see my 8 years old male MUCH younger and healthier than my 7 years old female, for example.

Longevity is very important for breeders as it's strictly related with health, short life points for weak health, for a working breed its even more important as short life means also earlier retirement.
