Alphie's getting a little older- just turned 10! His mom lived sixteen wonderful yrs so he has longevity in his genes. She was my son's life, time is getting away & he desperatley wants to keep her blood line & hopefully have sixteen yrs with her grand daughter/grandson. He is the sweetest, most cuddly one hundred lb Shepherd ever. He's full blooded Shepherd but never registered, extremely healthy. The only thing is 1 ear infection which is why the one ear is floppy. (had to spell out #'s due to website) Thanks for reading
