Really?! I guess I only saw her once, but she definitely didn't seem to be that old.
Kinda like my brother's dog though, she's a dalmation mix and is soooo hyperactive, we got her as a puppy and she's never calmed down, and because of her coloration she has no gray, but she's almost 15. You would think she's about 5 if you saw her. She's got no health problems of any kind, jumps all over the place, runs full speed ahead...my dog that's 8 tires before she does when you throw them a ball. I guess certain breeds just age differently.
