If you do a google search for "equivalent age" you should be able to get a good estimate. Pups mature much faster in their younger years, so their equivalent "human" age per year is older. As they get further away from puppy hood, that slows down.
A good estimate for the first few years of life is 8 to 11 years per human year, slowing to 3-5 years per human year as they age. The range in age is due to the relative size of the dog. Larger dogs "age" faster than smaller dogs. I hope this helps.

It is a common belief that 1 human year is equal to 7 dog years. That is not very accurate, since dogs reach adulthood within the first couple of years.
The formula is: 10.5 dog years per human year for the first 2 years, then 4 dog years per human year for each year after.

It depends on who you ask, my vet says 13 years for the first year and then 7 each additional year. But it depends on the breed as large dogs tend to age faster than small dogs.

The magic number is 7.
As your dog is almost 1yr old, that would be the equivilant to a human's developement at 7yrs of age.
When she's two, she'll be 14.
