    • It depends. 9 years old is not too old. My dog is 9 and she has cushings disease which means she is more likely to die. Most dogs live 12 and up. So you have many more years of happiness to go. Don't worry.

    • Don't dwell on the what WILL happen at some time in the future - enjoy your new dog now. Actually 8/9 for this breed isn't that old and you may well have many years of good quality time with her before you have to face anything like that. Get her in for a health check, so you can be confident that right now, she's happy and healthy. The sad fact is our dogs don't live as long as we do but again, there's no point dwelling on what is inevitable.
