how old is the oldest dog???? - Page 2

smkie · 01-12-2005, 07:19 PM

The oldest dog I ever saw was at a boarding kennel. It was 22 yrs, toothless, blind, deaf, and walked in circles..Seen a lot of little dogs make it up in to the long term, the larger the dog (just an observation) the shorter the life span. Labs are doing good to have 14 years of quality life, danes and saints less, except there was one breed ...a mountain something, black tan and white, really sharp looking, that has 9 years and I don't know why>>.
My Mary is 10, she is a labrador/german shorthair cross..and Victor (plug for Save_our_strays is an english pointer pup of 1 year.

My grumpy old man is 14 this year. He's doing well though and I expect he's got another 5yrs or so left in him (at least I hope he does).

Unless he's got the grey fuzzies in person

Oh yeah, he's what would be called a red and rust/grey Doberman.

He's pretty grey on his muzzle, but you can't really see it until you look close. And he's always moving so no one ever really gets a chance to get close before he's off and running.
