It's my chihuahua. Have no idea how old she is coz she was already full-grown when we got her. She's been with us for like three years now.

Vets and breeders are good at that. You can even bring it to the SPCA and they could help you figure out its age.
Added: I found a site that tells the age of a dog by their teeth.

Your veterinarian can do a thorough physical exam and look at these key areas:
Teeth
Gum line
Coat color
Hair line
Heart rhythm
All of these parts play a specific role and by checking them out your veterinarian can give you an *estimated* age only.
You can also do a side-by-side comparison of your dog up against a puppy Chi and a senior Chi.
It does not really matter, as long as your pup is happy and healthy.

Yes, ask an experienced dog person. We can usually tell an approximate age, but don't ask me how 'cause it's hard to describe.

Miriam is right, I can give you the approx. age of a dog by looking at it but it is too detailed to explain here.

Vets can typically tell by looking at their eyes and teeth.
