My one dog sandy is 8 yrs old and she is now starting to walk slower and seems to be more and more like an old little lady... I was wondering if 8 yrs old is considered old age for a german shepard or husky? I know smaller dogs live alot longer than bigger dogs but shepards are medium size dogs. Her teeth are starting to wear down also and i'm guessing thats due to her getting older also. I think 8 is considered older for a dog but I was wondering everyone else's opinions?
