Missed payments stay on your credit report for seven years, and the more recent the delinquency, the worse it is for your credit scores. âA single skipped payment can knock more than 100 points off a good credit score,â Weston says.
Physical Maturity. Small dogs reach their adult height between 10 to 12 months of age. Small breeds are dogs up to 30 pounds when fully grown. Medium breeds reach full growth between 12 to 16 months of age. Medium breeds are dogs between 30 and 80 pounds when fully grown.
Smaller breeds mature faster, but age more slowly after reaching maturity. A small dog (such as a toy poodle, terrier, chihuahua, etc.) isn't considered geriatric until much later than a larger breed-maybe 10 to 12 years old, and the largest breeds are senior citizens at 5 or 6 years of age. Most vets, though, consider a dog 7 or 8 years or older to be a senior citizen.
