[nagdu] Number of DOGS!

[Cindy Ray]

I had three dogs out of my six that did not work out. One was older when I got her. I think she worked for about six years and the other one that I had longer term was about eight years. Some people have dogs longer; some shorter. I'm guessing 7-9 working years. They might work until they are 9-10, which would give you 7 or 8 years, but a lot would depend on the stress they are under and a variety of things.
