Sadly, both of our Sukee dogs died at 8.5 yrs. of cancer. Our first died of a brain tumor, and our second died of leukemia. The first dog was a large female (110 lbs.), very athletic, and she had some hip issues but they were not debilitating ( with proper care and exercise). Our second girl was smaller (73 lbs.), no hip problems, but she had severe food allergies and immune system issues. Both dogs were very sweet ( with all people and most dogs) and responded to training very well. Intellectually, I was willing to accept the first pre- mature death as a possible anomaly, but with our second experience I would caution potential buyers to beware.\r
