What is the average lifespan of a Golden Retriever?

Golden Retrievers are a generally healthy breed; they have an average lifespan of 12 to 13 years.[9] Irresponsible breeding to meet high demand has led to the prevalence of inherited health problems in some breed lines, including allergic skin conditions, eye problems and sometimes snappiness.[9] These problems are rarely encountered in dogs bred from responsible breeders.[9]
