Question

Help answer this question below.

When is a dog considered 6 mos old? I mean... My Dane was born 4-23-08. On 10-08-08 he will be 24 weeks which is 6 mos at 4 weeks per month. But technically six months would be 10-23-08 because of a couple months having 5 weeks.

    It would be the full 6 months, not weeks.. at least I know thats the definition for the UKC as far as conformation showing goes. Meaning 10-23-08 for your pup. I think it is generally considered to be by actual full month in most settings, I always define the difference between 12 weeks and 3 months on my pups, even if its only 2 days.

    • Thanks so much Elegant! It just hit me when I realized he was coming up on that milestone. I've never really thought about it and I've been kinda following his growth progress based on a Dane average growth chart. It stops counting in weeks at one month. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge!
