She is 1 1/2 now, and thinks this is her house, we are just here to open doors for her and take her out,,lol She is very jeolous of our cats, but he best buddy is a Stray cat that showed up about the same time she came to us. Pez, the cat, had been thrown from a car, we think, and was really beat up. We took him to the vet, and he came home with some stitches, and Cleo (dog) would leave his side. They were both small then, and have grown up together, best of buddies..lol
QUESTION... how do you tell how old your chi is? we got a pup that i was told was around 4 months old and was supposed to get papers and now they won't give them to me.
Look at their teeth. Age Teeth Present Birth None 3-4 weeks Deciduous teeth coming in 6 weeks All deciduous teeth are in 3-5 months Permanent incisors coming in 5-6 months Permanent canines start to erupt and by end of 6 months are in 6-7 Last molar in lower jaw (M3) is in Overall health and nutrition, sex, breed, and season of birth affect tooth eruption time. Females' teeth often erupt before those of males, and pups whelped in summer have teeth that erupt before those born in winter. All other factors being equal, teeth of large breeds of dogs tend to erupt more rapidly than those of small breeds. Some dogs, particularly those of small breeds, tend to retain their baby teeth as the adult ones erupt. These teeth have to be removed by a veterinarian when they prevent proper adult tooth placement.
