You did say your parents had Spike's littermate, and he lived to be 18, so she may very well have been right on spot with that. There are not an awful lot of dogs, even Yorkies, that live to the wonderful age of 18 years! That says a whole lot about genetics and breeding behind that dog! Seems obvious your parents gave a considerable amount of thought into at least, the breeding that produced Spike and his littermates! I wish I knew the pedigrees behind those dogs! |
