How can I tell the age of a Golden Retriever? To determine the age of Golden Retriever puppies, judging from the teeth is a more accurate method. Golden Retriever puppies start to grow milk teeth around 20 days after birth, start to replace teeth at 3-4 months, finish replacing teeth and grow permanent teeth around one year old, 3-4 years old will have slight wear and tartar, 5-6 years old wear is obvious, 7-8 years old teeth start to fall out. Golden Retriever puppies start to get milk teeth around 20 days after birth, and the milk teeth will be lost and permanent teeth will be born at 5-7 months. Therefore, if a Golden Retriever puppy’s milk teeth have fallen out and the permanent teeth are not yet exposed or not much is exposed, its age is generally only 5-6 months. If the permanent teeth are all grown, the age is about 8-12 months. Prior to adulthood, the state of dental growth shows an increase in the age of the dog, but once in adulthood, the identification of the dog’s age can be determined by the state of wear of the teeth. Normally, adult dogs over 3 years of age will have wear on the upper and lower jaws where the front teeth meet above and below, and adult dogs over 4 years of age tend to have flattened upper and lower jaws from wear, with some teeth showing rounded rectangles or ovals. For older dogs 7-8 years old, it can be observed that their teeth have begun to fall out. The age of a dog can also be determined by the length of its teeth. In addition, the identification can also be observed from the condition of the whole body. For example, the tightness and relaxation of the tendons, the luster of the coat, the face, the nipples and the sexual organs, etc. You can also tell from the eyes, as the Golden enters its old age, their eyes will become cloudy and even suffer from cataracts.
