Had my sister over during her work hours this week because her internet is currently not loading properly, and because big changes in routine mess with my ability to focus I switched from one personal project to this older one. The last time I'd worked on this was during 2022 where I added the block-in of the Gordon Setter and I felt now was a good time to finish it. Maybe I spent a little longer on it compared to the other busts, but apart from that it's interesting to see what a difference 2 years can make. It does look a little bit out of place 😅 but we'll see how much of a disturbance it'll be once more busts are added.

How to Calculate Dog Years to Human Years

How to Calculate Dog Years to Human Years

Key Points

The widely held belief that "1 dog year = 7 human years" is unfounded.

Small dogs typically live longer than large dogs as they age, with various breeds aging differently.

A new formula is proposed in a 2019 research based on alterations to dogs' DNA over time.

Since the 1950s, it has been common practice to calculate a canine's age "in human years" using the formula 1 dog year = 7 human years. The truth is not as simple, despite the fact that this formula has been around for a remarkably long time. That doesn't deter many people from using this conventional calculation as their default. According to Kelly M. Cassidy, who collects research on canine longevity for the Charles R. Connor Museum at Washington State University, "you can't really kill the seven-year rule."

The 7:1 ratio appears to have been founded on the statistic that people lived to be about 70 and dogs lived to be about 10. This may be one explanation for how this formula came to be.

Veterinary student at Kansas State University William Fortney says, "My guess is it was a marketing ploy." According to him, it was "a way to educate the public on how quickly a dog ages compared to a human, primarily from a health standpoint," as reported by the Wall Street Journal. It served as a means of enticing pet owners to bring their animals in at least once a year.

How to Calculate Dog Years to Human Years?

However, the American Veterinary Medical Association provides the following breakdown as a general rule:

The first year of a medium-sized dog's existence is equivalent to 15 human years.

A dog's second year is roughly equivalent to a person's ninth year.

After that, a canine would live for about five years for every human year.

How Do Researchers Come Up With Those Numbers?

The AVMA states: "Cats and small dogs are usually considered'senior' at seven years old, but we all know they've got plenty of life left in them at that age. There are many various factors to consider. When compared to smaller breeds, larger canines tend to live shorter lives and are frequently regarded as seniors at 5 to 6 years old. Pets age more quickly than humans do, and because of this, veterinarians start to notice more age-related issues in senior pets. Dogs do not age at a pace of 7 human years for every year in dog years, despite what the general public believes.

The Great Dane is one instance. According to the Great Dane Club of America, the typical lifespan is between 7 and 10 years. A 4-year-old Great Dane would therefore be 35 years old in human years. Remember once more that these are merely approximations.

Dog data is not kept by the National Center for Health Statistics. Instead, breed clubs, pet insurance companies, and veterinary hospitals are the primary sources of information on their longevity.

Why Do Smaller Dogs Live Longer than Larger Dogs?

The connection between body mass and a dog's lifespan has perplexed scientists for years, and research has yet to provide an explanation.

Large animals, such as elephants and whales, typically live longer than small mammals, such as mice. So why do small canine breeds typically live longer than big breeds?

According to researcher Cornelia Kraus, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Göttingen in Germany, large dogs age more quickly and "their lives seem to unwind in fast motion." A dog's life expectancy decreased by about a month for every 4.4 pounds of bodily mass, according to researchers. Kraus suggests several explanations for this phenomenon, including the possibility that larger dogs may experience age-related illnesses more quickly and that their rapid growth may increase their risk of developing cancer and dying from abnormal cell development. Future research is being planned to clarify the relationship between development and mortality.

Canine gerontology is a growing area of study because dog owners want to increase the quantity and quality of their time spent with their pets. In order to "delay aging and promote healthy longevity," the Dog Aging Project is researching the aging process in dogs.

Every stage of our dogs' development, whether defined in human or dog years, is beautiful and endearing. Senior dogs are particularly endearing and poignant with their gray muzzles and thoughtful expressions.

2019 Epigenetic Clock Study

A new technique for estimating dog age was proposed in a 2019 study by researchers at the University of California, San Diego, based on alterations made to human and canine DNA over time. As DNA molecules age in both species, methyl groups are added, changing DNA function without changing the DNA itself. As a consequence, scientists have employed DNA methylation as a "epigenetic clock" to study human aging.

To compare the epigenetic clocks of dogs and humans, the research team conducted targeted DNA sequencing on 104 Labrador Retrievers with an age range of 16 years. The findings enabled them to derive a formula for converting dog ages to "human years," which they then used to calculate human age: human_age = 16ln(dog_age) + 31. You can use this natural logarithm tool.

Since only one breed was used in the research, the "human age" calculated for your dog using this formula might not be exactly accurate. Given that various breeds age differently, it's possible that the UCSD formula doesn't have enough variables to produce definitive results. Regardless, the newly proposed formula, which is supported by science, is unquestionably more helpful for determining a dog's "human age" than the long-debunked "multiply by 7" fallacy.

Fanart of Ludovica and her unnamed girlfriend! I based her girlfriend off a Gordon Setter, one of my favourite dog breeds!

i’m bored and wanna hear people talk about their favorite dogs so..

Dogblr, what are the top 5 breeds you are currently most interested in owning? Doesn’t have to be in any particular order! I’ll go first:

1.) Boykin Spaniel

2.) Field Spaniel

3.) Bracco Italiano

4.) English Cocker Spaniel

5.) Working Clumber Spaniel

Bonus points if you add why these particular breeds appeal to you!

I'm unemployed on my period = drooling over Gordon Setters I'm devouring every text and image available online everything I read I'm like oh my god they're perfect...dogs that can excel at obedience but also notoriously think about whether they wanna listen and shut down if you're even slightly commanding..dogs that are placid around canine and human strangers but really only like 1 person...I have a setter wound
