No way to know for sure. I had a rescue dog once - one vet said over 7 yrs - another vet said young adult. Dog had good teeth but really cloudy eyes - so we either had an old dog with good teeth or a younger dog with bad eyes.
If you got her in 2004, she's over 10 yrs for sure. :B
Yep, even vets don't always know. Several years ago we took in a stray. When we moved to another area and found a new vet, we explained to him that we don't know the true age of the dog.
The vet checked him over and said, 'about three years'.
We had the dog over eight years at that point.
