	Hi, I was wondering what is the average age ridgebacks may start to slow down? My girl is 7 1/2 and she seems to be showing signs of aging. She no longer runs at full speed like she used too.(sounded like a horse or train haha) She also has a white muzzle now. Just wondering if this is normal for the breed. I have tried googling but I cannot find what I am looking for. Thanks

	Sorry I can't help much as I am a mix but I started to grey around the muzzle at 3. As to slowing down...I am 4 now and still going strong. You might want to check out the forums breed pages for more help

	You might also want to email some of the Ridgeback owners with your questions... especially those with older dogs. Just look at the list of members or the administrators, go to their page, and ask them. Good luck.
