Not easy at all! Please post some pictures of him and we will try to figure it out. Generally speaking general size and weight, teeth development, and coat can give you some ideas of the age. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
