Question
i adopted my boxer 3 months ago.The previous owner promised me his papers and medical records,i got niether after 3 months.is there a good way to guess his age? he was supposed to be 7 months old when i adopted him but who knows. he still acts like a puppy,he is now 65 lbs. and growing.do you have any ideas?

Answer
For 65 lbs. at "7 months" old-- that's big.

The only way to actually tell is have a vet check him. They can tell by teeth, etc.

You must continue to demand his papers and medical records. Do not let up until you get them. Threaten attorney action, etc.
