How old was Shiloh?

Comment:

I just read Shiloh and watched the movie too. One question is how old was Shiloh? I think you should make one about Judd when he was little. Thank you for making Shiloh.

When I first found the dog who became Shiloh in the book, the vet estimated that she (it was a female dog) was about two years old.  That was 1988, and Clover, the dog, died in 2000, so that would make her about twelve years old.
