How do you tell the age of a Beagle? Generally speaking, around 20 days after a Beagle is born, its teeth will gradually grow in unevenly; by 30-40 days, its deciduous incisors will gradually grow in straight. When the Beagle is 4 months old, the first deciduous incisors will be replaced; when the Beagle is 8 months old, all the teeth will be replaced by permanent teeth; when the Beagle is 1 year old, all the permanent teeth will be in full length.

Judging the age of a beagle is roughly based on the following standards:

Teeth gradually and unevenly grow in around 20 days. In 30-40 days, the deciduous incisors will all grow in length.

At 2 months old, all the deciduous teeth have grown in, are pointed and tender white.

2-4 months, the first deciduous incisor is replaced. At 5-6 months, the second and third deciduous incisors and all deciduous beagle teeth are replaced. Over 8 months old, all teeth are replaced by permanent teeth.

1 year old, the permanent teeth are all long, smooth and strong, and there are sharp protrusions on the upper part of the incisors.

At 1.5 years old, the peak of the mandibular first incisor disappeared. At 2.5 years old, the peak of the second mandibular incisor disappeared. At 3.5 years old, the peak of the maxillary first incisor was lost. At 4.5 years old, the peak of the maxillary second incisor was lost.

At the age of 5, the peak of the third mandibular incisor was slightly worn, and at the same time, the first and second mandibular incisors were ground into a rectangular shape. At 6 years old, the peak of the third mandibular incisor was lost and the beagle canine was blunt and rounded. At the age of 7, the first incisor of the mandible was worn to the root of the tooth, and the worn surface was vertically oval. At the age of 8, the first incisor of the mandible was worn and tilted forward. At 10 years old, the wear surfaces of the second mandibular and first maxillary incisors were longitudinally oval in shape.

At the age of 16, the front teeth were lost and the canine teeth were incomplete.

At the age of 20, the beagle’s canine teeth fell out.
