The Australian laws stipulate that the animal has to be able to stand and turnaround without touching the container. They will not allow two to travel together, and you have to get a certificate signed by a vet that they are fit to make the journey within a day. There are a number of things to consider about flying, and when I shipped to USA they were put in the cargo and not let out for 16 hours during the flight - just as well. When I shipped to Hawaii, no rabies there, he held onto everything, and as soon as he was out of his crate at the other end, he had a gigantic piddle. And smiled.

Pretty intersting though, don't you think?

Usually related ages is based on weight, lower the weight, younger in years… so looking at this, it is based that way also... if you leave the same age, change the weight the age changes

I do not know but I had a old time vet tell me that there is really no set rule because no two dogs age the same. He said no two people get gray hair or wrinkles at same age as we all age whenever we do. He did however say that almost all large dogs age faster. Not sure who is right or wrong or if anyone really is.

The rule of thumb is usually the bigger the dog, the short the life span

Great Danes I think have the shortest lives.

Or Irish Wolfhounds
