Answer #1

I’d think about 14 years…though I have seen Labs as old as 17 and 18 years…For a big dog, they really have a long life. Gotta keep them from getting fat, tho…and Labs have an extra layer of fat to keep them warm in very cold water (they’re from Labrador Island, ya know…and the ocean is ultra-cold!)…

Answer #2

I have seen labs live for a long time, don’t have an exact number, but I have had lots of labs over the years- and as long as you take good care of them- they should live a very long time.

Answer #3

15-20 years if they die of old age! Jade x x x

Answer #4

Around 15 to 20 years if you’re lucky :-)

Answer #5

I had a lab and she lived to be 15 years old. They are the sweetest, most loving dogs ever.
