Thank you for submitting your question regarding Macciato. He appears to be a terrier mix. If you look in his mouth, it can help determine his age. Baby teeth are smaller and very sharp. These are lost around 4-6 months of age. If the adult teeth are all in, then he is likely an adult. I hope this information helps!
