hahaha -- but wolfhounds were bred for much larger game: i.e. wolves, deer, and taking down cavalry men in battle :p plus it will be a few (/many) years until I get them

The breed with the dubious distinction of the shortest lifespan (among breeds for which there is a questionnaire survey with a reasonable sample size) is the Dogue de Bordeaux with a median longevity of about 5.2 years,

but several breeds, including Miniature Bull Terrier, Bulldog, Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, Bloodhound, Irish Wolfhound, Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, Great Dane, & Mastiff, r nrly as short-lived, with median longevities btwn 6 & 7 yrs
