How do you tell the age of a Golden Retriever? Before adulthood, the age of a Golden Retriever is judged by the growth of the dog's teeth. Puppies fall off their deciduous teeth 5-7 months after birth and give birth to permanent teeth. All the permanent teeth grow in, and their age is about 8 -12 months. After adulthood, the age of a golden retriever is judged by the wear and tear of its teeth. The shorter the teeth of an old golden retriever, the older it is.

Generally, golden retriever puppies will lose their deciduous teeth 5-7 months after birth and give birth to permanent teeth. Therefore, if the baby golden retriever's deciduous teeth have fallen out and the permanent teeth have not yet been exposed or not much is exposed, its age is generally only 5-6 months. If all the permanent teeth have grown in, the age is about 8-12 months. Before adulthood, the growth state of the teeth shows the increase in the age of the golden retriever, but once it reaches adulthood, the identification of the age of the golden retriever can be determined by the wear state of the teeth.

Identifying the age of a Golden Retriever requires certain practice and observation experience. In general, for adult Golden Retrievers over 3 years old, the upper and lower joints of the front teeth of the upper jaw and lower jaw are worn. For adult Golden Retrievers over 4 years old, the upper and lower joints of the front teeth often become flat due to wear. For 7-8-year-old golden retrievers, the age of the golden retriever can be determined based on the length of the golden retriever’s canine teeth. The shorter the teeth, the older the golden retriever.

In addition, observe and identify from the state of the whole body. For example, by comprehensively observing the tightness of muscles, the luster of coat color, face, nipples and sexual organs, reference data can be obtained. In short, although there are many methods for identifying the age of golden retrievers, in order to obtain more accurate identification results, you must accumulate experience from practice.
