They can live up to 12. It pretty much depends on the care you give them. For a female, it will help her health if she is spayed and not bred. Also, the big guys tend to need top of the line nutrition. That also will add to her life. For treats we never give the store bought stuff, only apples, oranges, bananas, etc. So basically, get her spayed, feed her very well, and dont over due the treats and she will have a longer, healthier life. Ours always did!<br><b>References : </b><br> Books tend to say 8-10, but after owning them, its closer to 10. They can live up to 12. It pretty much depends on the care you give them.

However I have had a Great Dane and a Boerboel (SOuth African breed - Almost identicle to Bullmastiff in height, looks, but a little broader) live to 11 yrs and 13 yrs. Good senior care and adult care is essential for a long life. Bullmastiffs are highly prone to Hip dyplacia and jointproblems which can lead to them being put down before 10yrs. With your type of breed always keep their weight under control because obesity is a major cause of these defects. Supplements of fish oils and a varied healthy diet is essential.<br><b>References : </b><br> The usual for your type of dog is 8 - 10 yrs.

Their major halth concerns are gastric tortion,CHD, elbow dysplasia and occasionally entropion.

The average age would be around 10 - 12 but big dogs do have a shorter lifespan, and Danes average life span is 9 years.<br><b>References : </b><br> That really is an open ended question……….however well you look after your dog, no one has a crystal ball to be able to forsee any health or genetic problems.
