I had two Yorkies come into rescue that were bought by 75 and 78 year old people...They were both dead within 5 years and 1 in 1 year. IMHO it is very selfish for a 80 year old person to get a puppy knowing they probably won't live as long as the dog but it still boils down to it is the breeders responsibility to place their dogs in the right home. If they are comfortable knowing this dog could go into another home or two then that is their option.
