My old black lab will be 13 in August. We got in 50 days of Nordic skiing this winter and we still go riding. Rides are shorter and slower of course and rest days in between. My younger lab is 6 but has a heart condition so the two have similar exercise needs. But we have decided not to get another dog when the boys are gone because I don’t think I’ll be able to give them what they will need as I age out. But we will see.
