Ray--such a difficult decision! I am assuming she has been checked by the vet for any respiratory illness. Our fur babies have such an important place in the family. It is always hard to let them go.
Peace and blessings to you and Dusty.
Last time she was in we mentioned the wheezing and he looked at her lungs and they were clear.. “13 is how long my dog lived...and breathing issues” essentially he said -> it wont be long.
Do they have an unproductive cough, especially at night.
As someone who has bid farewell to a few dogs in the last decade, I'd say eating is the crucial signal. When a dog stops eating, it's time.
It happened to our Aussie a couple years ago. The vet's diagnosis was advanced lymphoma. We had a vet who specializes in euthanasia make a house call.

We did know when it was time, and agree if they stop eating with cancer it is time. We have lost two dog to cancer and it is always so hard.
My grand mother said the reason cats (dogs) don't live as long as we do is so that we can have lots of wonderful cats in our lifetime.
If you are already wondering about the "right time" you are a great parent and will do the best you can....
