I thought the life expectancy was shorter than 16 years, more like 10-12 years or so...?--Sonjaaa 07:34, Nov 9, 2004 (UTC)
- New Encycl of Dogs lists it as 13-14. I've been told (by vets) that the life expectancy of most breeds, at least in the US, has been increasing rapidly in the last couple of decades as medical care & food for dogs & the way dogs are treated (e.g., not allowed to run loose in the street) have improved. From what I know, most smaller dogs including terriers have longer life expectancies than medium or large breeds. So I'd doubt 10-12 yrs. Elf | Talk 23:35, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)
