Factors Impacting German Shepherd Lifespan
The baseline average lifespan for a healthy German Shepherd is 9 to 13 years. However, this varies based on lifestyle:
- Obese conditions deduct up to 1.5 years from baseline.
- Very active activity adds up to 0.5 years.
- Addressing major breed risks (e.g. Hip Dysplasia, Bloat) adds longevity.
