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.
The cute, cuddly puppy stage does not last long. Their size, temperament, activity level and coat all change. Puppies grow up very quickly into adult dogs. In between the puppy and adult stages is a rebellious adolescent phase where puppies require almost constant supervision. Depending on the breed, by the time puppies are one year old, they are considered adult dogs. Some breeds of dogs take longer to mature out of their adolescent phase than others. Less than one year will be spent in cute, cuddly puppy stage, while the next ten to 15 years you will be living with the adult dog.
