Cross Breeds

What is the life expectancy of this cross breed?

A Saint Dane (Great dane + saint bernard)... Usually cross breeds live longer, does anyone know this one's?

1. there's no proof that mixed breeds live longer giant breeds tend to have short lifespans because of the stress on their joints and organs.. a cross of 2 giant breeds cant be expected to live any much longer... 7-8 years is typical for giant breeds.
2. approx 10 years if healthy check both breeds and guess from that small dogs live longer than big dogs, nothing about mixes living longer.
3. Please don't call it a 'Saint Dane.' It's a MUTT, nothing more, nothing special. There is nothing that says crossbreeds live longer, so the expectancy of a great dane is about 9 years, and the expectancy of a St. Bernard is about 8, so expect somewhere between 7-10 years.
4. Cross breds do NOT usually live longer. That is a misconception. As for cross breds they aren't from responsible breeders, the parents very rarely have any kind of health testing, the pedigrees of the parents aren't researched for health & longevity and the parents aren't of breed standard. A well bred purebred from a responsible breeder can live a healthy life for 10 or more years. It is not unusual at all for a well bred Dane to live into it's teens...I would imagine it would be the same for a Saint Bernard...since this is a cross bred from an irresponsible breeder then more then likely 8- 10 would be the average.
