Sad to say, Police Dog Finn has died:-

'Hero' Hertfordshire police dog Finn dies aged 14 - BBC News

I meet a few very old dogs at the lake, two are 17 and one's 18.

We had a couple reached 18/ 19. Garry, a Jack Russell and Dan , a toy poodle, but the bigger dogs, and we had dozens of them, tended not to get past 15. 

Good ages those, my dogs over the years have only been 7, 14, 10 (a few) and 12. It's 8 years since I last had a dog.

We did have our tragedies. Kep died of bone cancer aged 2 1/2,  Luna of cancer aged 8, Risga run over in the farm yard by a lost tourist, aged 5, 😭 , Molly, a collie ran over a cliff chasing a sheep..she ignored the FiL whistling her back. She was 5 . Tessie was 3 when she was trapped by the Forestry Commission worker who decided it was a good idea to put a fox trap in the shared boundary fence. We had 5000 acres, so the dogs were free range . We didn't expect an illegal trap from the FC. 

Goodness me, you've sure had some tragedies, poor dogs.

Did that land include hill land and/or moorland?

I watched a very old episode of Road Wars and guess who was making an appearance?

Yep, you guessed it, Police Dog Finn. That was before his injuries. He looked young and keen.
