vets go by teeth generally but there are exceptions so vitality, grey hair etc are also markers

I guess it's hard to determine its age just by looking it, but an expert in pets is able to infere an approximate age by analyzing its behaviour and some physical aspects such the bone structure. Of course, every breed has different behaviour, so it also depends on the breed. For example, it is well know that dalmatians never stop playing (fooling) around during their whole lives while others get more "serious" when adults.

If you desire to study to do it your self, that'll take a little time. For many years, I've requested folks who ancient there puppy is after which I seem within the puppy's mouth. When you've gotten obvious ample of them you'll be able to get beautiful well at it. I've disagreed with a vet a time or 2 and grew to become out that I used to be correct. For correct now...Puppy tooth are rather pointy and white. One 12 months ancient has white tooth, now not so pointy. Two 12 months ancient has the begin of tarter at the tooth.

If you go to the vet, he'll be able to tell you how old your dog is, he might be a year off but it's the best way to know. We got our dog from a organization for abused greyhounds and it was the vet that told us how old she was so...

Dogs are the most incredible creatures. I could tell by looking at their phisique with quite a degree of accuracy. Ask the question to your vet any chance that you visit him/her. Surely they have the same insight that I do, there's no major science to it.

You can try talking to the owner of the dog before you, or the head of whatever place you got her.
