My adopted puppy's teeth are growing. How do I know her age and breed?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! He is a mixed breed dog with predominant features of a Jack Russell terrier. To better predict his age, it would be helpful to examine his mouth specifically his dentition. However, he is probably about 3 months old. Good luck and have a great day!

It is only possible to evaluate the age of a puppy up to the age of 6 weeks, this is done according to the teeth (canines teeth grow at the age of 4 weeks, molars at 6 weeks). after that age it is usually a pure educated guess.

She looks like she could be 3-4 months old. Look at her teeth. At around 4 months of age she should start losing baby teeth. She may be a Malinois, but is difficult to determine by one image. A reputable breeder will provide paperwork, pedigree, vaccine history, etc. Your veterinarian should be able to make a determination of age and breed after a physical exam. She has to be examined anyway to get her vaccines.

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sweety is very pretty. Unfortunately, we cannot tell you what breed she is. It appears that she is a mixed breed and that's about all we can say. Her age can be guessed by examining her teeth so we would need a picture of her teeth. Good luck with Sweety

Congratulations on your new pet! Kaya is adorable! Judging by her size and appearance, she may be a Labrador or Pointer mix. Based on Kaya’s teeth, she still has all of her baby teeth, so she is likely approximately 2.5-3 months old. I hope this helps and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

Hello. I can definitely see some Beagle in her. There also seems to be a little terrier too, but not sure exactly what. She sure is a cutie. I am so glad you were available to rescue her! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Hello. In small dogs, we can definitely see advanced periodontal disease at a younger age than in larger breed dogs, but to estimate her age just based on your picture, would say she is 6-7 years old. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
