a dog that is 17 years old in dog years is 119.
A dog that's 17 in human years is OLD, and shouldn't be bred at all.
Your dog is approximately 81 "human years" old. For the first two years, a dog year is equal to 10.5 human years. After that, a dog year equals about 4 human years. This calculation is based on studies that dogs, except maybe larger breeds, develop more quickly in the first two years of life.
It is a common belief that 1 human year is equal to 7 dog years. That is not very accurate, since dogs reach adulthood within the first couple of years. The formula used above is from a canine expert and is a bit more accurate. (as accurate as one can judge these things)The formula is: 10.5 dog years per human year for the first 2 years, then 4 dog years per human year for each year after.
the average age for an austrail shephers is 11 years old; 17 is old for any dog.
17 years old .
depends on the dog breed .. dogs lifestyle and diet really .. my lassie dog (rough collie) died 2 years ago she was 15 .. good age for a dog .. arthritis crippled her in the end and she had to be put to sleep .. worst day of my life that was . if it hadnt been for that she might have lived for til about 17
Well it all depends on the type of dog it is. Example.miniature daschunds live up to 17 years of age, but with there bone structure ,they can get back problems and leg problems in there later years of life.) Chanel is a long haired miniature daschund and she is 27 years old in human years.(also famously known as the longest living dog in the world)
Probably 12-14 years old. If you treat it with lots of love, it might live up to 17 years or longer.
