I had a lab/mix live to be 18. She never got her shots, she was an outside dog who ate leftovers. She lived a long and happy life. It really depends on the dog and its background. (Shots do help...yu should always get their shots, she was just a lucky one

∙ 12y agoIf well cared for and kept in good physical health (right weight, lots of exercise) a Labrador (yellow, black and chocolate are all the same breed) can live to be 12yrs old. They are puppies until 1yr and adolescent until about 2-3yrs old and a Lab is officially a senior at about 8yrs old - anything above 8yrs is pretty old for a Lab, though I've met several that lived to be in their teens.

∙ 14y agoFemale Labs should not be bred over the age of 8. Even previous breeding bitches should be spayed at 8 to prevent accidental litters because of the increased dangers of breeding. It is best to leave breeding to professionals - if you choose to breed a female, you must realize that death while giving birth is still relatively common in dogs and you should consult a vet every step along the way.

Can a crested guinea pig breed with abyssinian?
Ok, a crested guinea pig and, I'm guessing you are referring to an abyssian guinea pig (not a cat) CAN breed. They are NOT two different species of animals. They are different BREEDS. Both are guinea pigs, so they can breed. Think of a lab (dog) and a dachshund (dog)........they, too, are different BREEDS, but the same SPECIES (dog)......so, they can also breed.
