Well it sounds like you gave him a great life that he probably wouldn't have gotten had you not had him. My girl was kinda the same way. She was pretty wild until she hit about 7 then she started to calm down a bit and by 10 she was kind of a grumpy old lady. Never with people but she began to tolerate other dogs less and less in her older age.I fully expected him to live that long. Looking back, he may have had hidden health issues and never showed symptoms. He came from a friend of a friend who was a backyard breeder and fought his parents. Gator was next in line but was too spastic to “be trained for fighting”. He was infested with worms as a pup and kept his spaz attitude his entire 6 years. He never mellowed our like dogs tend to do as they age. He ran outside for his Sunday morning potty like he did everyday and just laid down and didn’t wake up. He was a great pal.
