Determing Age

[bigdog]

Is there a way to guesstimate their age at all? I got her about 2 years ago and she weighed about 6lbs and I think they said she was around 4yrs old (but not positive). I weighed her the other day and she weighs 35lbs. I'm not positive Munchy is a she just a best (very uneducated) guess on my part based on some pics I saw online.

Thanks,
Mark

There is really no way to tell. They all grow at such different rates, and so many things can influence the rate one way or the other.

Here is a picture I just took of her showing her size if that helps. I also took some of her underneath to try and guess her gender. I'm just wondering for curiosity because I only got her 2 years ago. So any help on her possible age and if gender would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark

Thanks Sandra. From my calculations of what we were told she would be around 6 now, so just wanted to get a general idea if that was somewhat correct. I had thought she was a she too from what I some pics online. Are females generally smaller than males or vice versa?
