A study of Golden Retriever Lifespans
This study is presently based on 2343 lifespans of Golden Retrievers. The mean lifespan for
the entire dataset was 11.3 years. However, as will be shown below, mean lifespans have
probably been increasing decade by decade during the 20th century. There is sufficient scatter
in the data to cloud the issue but we see no way in which these data can be construed to
indicate a decrease in lifespans.

The figure (below) displays the mean lifespan by decade. There is an increase from the
1940s through the 1980s.
Data for the 1990s are not plotted as the longest lived dogs born in the 1990s are not yet
dead.
All the Goldens in this study lived long enough to attain at least 1 major title.
