| For those with older rotts.../Hawaii
My male is 8 and is moving around very slowly. Im worried. I know the life span of this breed is anywhere from 8-12 average, but Rab is acting like he is 90. He still has his hearing and sight though. I would appreciate any info/experiences any of you have had with older dogs. How old they are/were, health problems, how they acted, etc. Do females live longer than males? The two I have are the first and only dogs I have had since moving out on my own and I have had them since they were puppies. I have never owned an old dog. All mine seem to do is sleep the day away now a days. Im nervous... I am not ready to part with my pet.
Also, We are moving from Germany to Hawaii. Any idea if the weather will affect the dogs? I am hoping that the warmer climate will ease their joints. |
