@breedhealthscore.bsky.socialFive of the longest median lifespans in the data, in years: Lancashire Heeler 15.4, Tibetan Spaniel 15.2, Bolognese 14.9, Shiba Inu 14.6, Havanese 14.5. Not a large breed among them, which is the whole point.
@breedhealthscore.bsky.socialHow healthy is the German Shorthaired Pointer? Median lifespan 13.4 years, Breed Health Score 80 out of 100 (grade A). That score breaks down as longevity 77, conformation 100 and burden 69. Higher or lower than you would have guessed?

@breedhealthscore.bsky.socialStaffordshire Bull Terrier or English Springer Spaniel: which would you put ahead on lifespan? In the vet data the English Springer Spaniel runs to a median 13.5 years and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier to 12, a gap of about 1.5 years. Does that match how they are seen?
@breedhealthscore.bsky.socialThe five shortest median lifespans among the familiar breeds, in years: Bulldog 9.8, French Bulldog 9.8, Bernese Mountain Dog 10.1, Great Dane 10.6, Rottweiler 10.6. The heavier, flatter-faced breeds cluster at this end.
@breedhealthscore.bsky.socialReply with any breed and its median lifespan from the vet data is yours. 155 breeds scored so far, and some of the numbers land nowhere near their reputation.

@breedhealthscore.bsky.socialMedian lifespan by size in the data: toy breeds average about 12.9 years and giant breeds about 10.2, with small near 13.3 and large near 12.3. Bigger body, shorter median: one of the steadier lines in the whole set.

@breedhealthscore.bsky.socialHow healthy is the Japanese Chin? Median lifespan 12.5 years, Breed Health Score 65 out of 100 (grade B). That score breaks down as longevity 64, conformation 65 and burden 69. Higher or lower than you would have guessed?
@breedhealthscore.bsky.socialMiniature Dachshund or Great Dane: which would you put ahead on lifespan? In the vet data the Miniature Dachshund runs to a median 14 years and the Great Dane to 10.6, a gap of about 3.4 years. Does that match how they are seen?
@breedhealthscore.bsky.socialThe five shortest median lifespans among the familiar breeds, in years: Bulldog 9.8, French Bulldog 9.8, Bernese Mountain Dog 10.1, Great Dane 10.6, Rottweiler 10.6. Size and build do a lot of the work at this end of the table.
@breedhealthscore.bsky.socialThe Pug carries the flat-faced build, and the breeds that share it cluster toward the lower scores rather than spread across the range. The shape itself is doing that, before any one dog is born. Its score sits at 55 out of 100.
@breedhealthscore.bsky.socialDrop a breed in the replies and its median lifespan from the data comes back. 155 breeds scored so far, and some of the numbers land nowhere near their reputation.
@breedhealthscore.bsky.socialMedian lifespan by size in the data: toy breeds average about 12.9 years and giant breeds about 10.2, with small near 13.3 and large near 12.3. The size-to-lifespan slope is about as consistent as this data gets.

@breedhealthscore.bsky.social5 conditions are recorded for the Whippet, 1 of them classed major-welfare, most commonly reported: Mitral valve disease, Von Willebrand disease and Deafness. These are what the vet records report most, not a forecast for a given dog.
@breedhealthscore.bsky.socialJack Russell Terrier or Bulldog: which would you put ahead on lifespan? In the vet data the Jack Russell Terrier runs to a median 13.3 years and the Bulldog to 9.8, a gap of about 3.5 years. Does that match how they are seen?
