Reliability of Dog Encyclopaedia book for life span.

edit

This book cites no sources itself for life span and all the claims just seem incredibly random like somehow the Bracco Italiano has a life of span 12-13 but the Slovakian Wirehaired Pointer has one of 12-14. Some breeds just have simply 'over 10 years' listed and nothing has a life span listed below 10 years.

I fail to see how something obscure like the bull boxer can have it's life span pin pointed to between a year yet the much more popular goldendoodle can only be pinpointed to between 5 years. Traumnovelle (talk) 03:59, 22 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Are you talking about the Dog Encyclopedia by DK Publishing? I'd be curious to hear the back story about this book's publishing, it's not marketed as such but it's really a later edition of Bruce Fogle's New Encyclopedia of the Dog and The Encyclopedia of the Dog. Quite a bit of it is an exact copy. I wonder why they removed Bruce Fogle's name. I don't have a copy of the last edition, but the earlier editions don't cite sources for their material. Not surprising as their chosen demographic was children. A shame though that we can't see where this info came from. Annwfwn (talk) 13:12, 22 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yes. I'm not really sure the source can meet the standard to make claims such as life span/life expectancy given it sources nothing itself. Traumnovelle (talk) 17:58, 22 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
It's not WP:MEDRS so I'll remove it anyhow. Traumnovelle (talk) 07:00, 19 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Lifespan

edit

I’d like to know what is defined as a credible source for lifespan? It seems a standard range widely accepted is not acceptable 2600:1006:B1AC:E9A6:A585:BC8F:4C07:E237 (talk) 00:57, 21 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Veterinary sources or any source with actual data behind it rather than made up numbers created for search engine optimisation purposes by random websites. PetMD is just a tool for Chewy to promote themselves. Traumnovelle (talk) 04:17, 21 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
