Older Dogs


Our kennel is about half older dogs and half young dogs in their prime for racing. Sixteen dogs are older than eight.

We have seven rescues still holding their own and they are all eight and older.

Amaroq, one of our original pups, is thirteen and has some pretty major hip problems. He is enjoying summer but I think another winter will be too tough on him. Without his Rimadyl, he would not be able to walk anymore. He is a beauty, with two blue eyes.

Chena, in photo, is our beloved rescued Lab, house partner. She has multiple health issues but is still eager to go for long walks (although she spends all day recovering) and swims (same recovery time). She has been with us for seven years and is probably about thirteen.
