How old can chocolate labs live?

Being a large dog, labs have a limited lifespan. This is true for most labs. They live about 12 years, but not much longer than 14. The smaller the dog you get, usually the longer the lifespan. A lot of labs do not live as long as they can because they get hip dysplasia. It is a condition in their bones that makes them unable to or have trouble walking, sitting, going potty. So most people have to put them down.
