How the Portuguese Water Dog ages
The Portuguese Water Dog is a medium dog weighing about 35–60 lb, with a typical lifespan of 12–14 years. Like all dogs, the Portuguese Water Dog matures fast early: about 15 human years by age one and 24 by age two, and then ages more gradually after that. A 5-year-old is roughly 39 in human years, and a 10-year-old about 64. This size-adjusted method reflects how medium dogs actually age, rather than the flat "multiply by seven" rule, which overstates the age of young pets and understates senior large breeds.
