Re: [pyrnet] Longest lived Pyrs?

[David P Kintsfather Jr <kintsfat@kutztown.edu>]

I answered this privately, but perhaps others would be interested in
this.  I have heard of several Pyrs in the US living to be 16 including
one Rescue bitch owned by a member of our regional club.  There are rumors
of at least 2 in France living to be 18.

In my 30 years of being associated with Pyrs I've known quite a few to
live to be 13, maybe 30 who made 14 and only a handful who made it to 15
or beyond.  This isn't scientific, but gives some idea of what you can
expect.
