i am about to buy a yorkie from someone and the owner says hes 5 months. i saw the pictures and try to determine his age but im having difficulty doing so. i have pictures of the yorkie that she offered me. if anyone would like to see him and make a suggestion to his possible age. let me know and ill send some to you. i would go and take him to the vet but i have to buy him first and the sale is final. someone said you can figure out the age of the yorkie by his teeth. any thoughts.
At just 5 months old, the permanent incisor teeth will just be coming in. You will see a mixture of baby teeth and permanent teeth. A lot of times with Yorkies they don't lose their baby teeth so you will see a double row of teeth (which will have to be pulled, if they don't fall out on their own). Email me some pics and I will look at them.
Here's a link about teeth and age

Many times, you can tell by looking at their teeth. I'm not sure what feature can determine the age of he dog, but if you ask a local vet, they should be able to tell you.
