i have 2 whippets and there's a story about them and how long my wife and i have had them until my wife passed away on December 2019 but we got the first one who was 10 months old at the time he was one from my wife's sisters whippets first litter and out of 7 or so puppies only one dog had one testicle but our Charlie had them but they didn't drop so 2006 and the only dog who is Charlie's brother caught his own mother and as a result all the pups were born dead except for one who was a beautiful white blue eyed tiny pup so we took the poor inbred dog who had the same type of testicle problem as Charlie so we called him buddie as in Charlie's buddie to help with separation anxiety. everyone we spoke to said oh 6 years and if they haven't been operated on they'll die of cancer, buddie is now 17years old and Charlie is 18years old with no operation on any of them and they still look like younger dogs what age is the oldest whippet?
