@nprofile1q... Skadi is almost 10, but Cane Corso have shorter lifespans than a lot of dog breeds. Our middle child, Garm, is shelter special, we think Boxer/Lab/Pittie mix, and he is 9 now. He is aging so well, but he also had a misadventure last November that was a surprise $3500 vet bill. He holds the record at our vet for “the most foreign bodies removed from a dog’s stomach” as he ate 8 pairs of undies, 4 pairs of socks, hair ties, and 3 pairs of jeans… all in less than 10 minutes.
