Oh my! :-( My Eddie is 2.9 years older than he should be (he's chunky). Ruff, thanks so much for this site -- I'm going to show it to my kids & DH and discuss some changes we can make to improve our pooch's longevity!
That's a good idea Kathy. You're very welcome Jes!
My Diana came in 5.6 years younger than her actual age for her breed. Woohoo! And in point of fact I think they were over-critical about a couple of points if you consider her breed. For instance, they didn't like that I could (barely) see her ribs...but all Danes look like that. And they didn't like that we free-feed her, but Danes basically NEVER get fat, & free-feeding helps (they think) to stave off bloat.
Still, it was quite interesting & it's nice to know my dear Diana is doing so well! With Danes you start getting really scared around the age of 5.
