I have a Pekepoo who is 15 1/2 years old and
is in great shape. People actually think 15
months old when I say he's 15 until you spot
a bit of gray on his tail. He's had great health
other than some disk problems that eventually
corrected itself through cortezone. I don't know
if there is a
much of a difference between pekepoos and
pekingese as far as health and age go. I was
wondering myself about the average ages of
peekapoos. My dog Pepper has been a wonderful
friend and companion since I was in 11th grade.
Everyday I come home and am scared that he might
die, but at least I know he's had a healthy and happy life.
But according to some of your responses, he
may have more years to come! I wish your's
the same.
