My current K-9 has been in service for bit over 7 years. He is 8 years old and just as frisky today as he was as a pup!
The service period of the canine is normally determined by what type of service is performed with the physical and psychological stresses associated with the work.
A "patrol" dog will retire most likely faster than a "narcotics" dog as the physical stress is less.
As the handler...when I notice a decrease in productivity and see an indication of stress, it will be my call to retire the canine and provide him a restful environment to reward him for his many years of public service!

I think 10....but it depends on the dog and what it does...
Dog's that see a lot of 'duty' usually retire first, sniffers, last....

Oh, no... it's not a "dog" anymore... it's a "police officer"!
