Age Guess

[cindyv3737]

Is there a way to guess the age of a chin? I bought Shelly from a pet store and I'm curious to her age. They told me she was 4-6 months old. I take that knowledge with a grain of salt.

There is no way to know for sure as Kristy said. How big is your chinnie? Can you post a picture? Sometimes younger chins have sort of fuzzy/cottony fur that you know isn't their adult fur and you can kind of guestimate from that as well as weight, but nothing certain. Once they have gotten older it is harder to guess age, I think.

I have no idea what her weight is. I need to pick up a scale for her. I just took these shots of her this morning.

By appearance, she looks like a mature chin (~6 months or more). She doesn't have that out-of-proportion look or fuzzy baby fur that weanlings and youngsters often have. How much does she weigh? (Although weight probably isn't going to be a great indicator either...) It is very difficult to tell the age of a chin once they are full grown.

I dont think there is no way to know for sure.
