How old is old?

In trying to peg Hanzo with an age as accurately as I could, I went on a wild goose google chase for pictures of shibas from ages 6-11 for comparison. I've since decided that he's probably 7-8 years young.

In my search, I found this really cool site, listing quite old shibas with their info, a sort of golden oldies directory. Its so interesting to see how old some shibas are! I want their secrets!

    I've met a few of those dogs. #18 - Cole was Nemo's foster brother. He is a really good old Shiba.

    # 42 SanJo Social Butterfly is Ike's grand-dam (Cho-Cho) on his sire's side.
    # 48 Ch.Tenshinmaru Go Etchuu Wakasugisou (Tenshin) is Ike's Great Grandsire on his dam's side.

    I love that list. It is really neat to see how Ike may age. I think shibas age really well in general, maybe they fade a little in the face depending on the lines, but what hardy little dogs.
