The old "multiply by seven" rule would say 98. The DNA-based formula from UC San Diego (16 × ln(14) + 31) gives 73. That formula was built on Labradors, so it fits medium and large dogs best.

At fourteen, most dogs are elderly. Watch for confusion at night, pacing or staring at walls. Canine cognitive dysfunction is treatable.
