Why do springer spaniels live for 14 years?

Springer Spaniels typically have a lifespan of around 12 to 14 years due to a combination of genetics, health, and care factors. Breeding practices have focused on producing healthy dogs, which helps mitigate hereditary health issues. Additionally, proper nutrition, regular veterinary care, and an active lifestyle contribute to their longevity. Like all breeds, individual lifespans can vary based on overall health and environment.
