How long does the average hound live?

Answer 1

Compiling a list of random hound dogs and their average lifespan you can get an idea of how long the typical hound type dog will live for.

• Afghan Hound 12-14 years (13 average)
• American Foxhound 10-13 years (12 average)
• English Foxhound 10-13 years (12 average)
• Basset Hound 8-12 years (10 average)
• Black & Tan Coonhound 10-12 years (11 average)
• Bloodhound 7-10 years (8.5 average)
• Ibizan Hound 12-14 years (13 average)
• Harrier 10-12 years (11 average)
• Rhodesian Ridgeback 10-13 years (12 average)
• Scottish Deerhound 8-11 years (9 average)

So if you add the average lifespan of each dog together then divide by the number of dogs you'd get 11.15 years, therefore you can conclude that the average hound dog can be expected to live to be a little over 11 years old.
