Potomac age for puppies

I have a litter that was born on Oct 10, 2012.
Is the AKC "6 months" 180 days ? Just wondering if they will be old enough.

TIA

Yes - you will miss is by one day - they will be 6 months old on April 10, 2013. Bummer!

Re: Potomac age for puppies

by my count they would be 180 days on the 8th
Oct 10 -31 = 21
Nove 1-30 =30
Dec 1-31 = 31
Jan 1-31 = 31
Feb 1-28 =28
Mar 1-31 =31
April 1-9 =9

total = 181

It does not matter when 180 days are - it matters that April 10th is 6 MONTHS, not 181 days after October 10th. And btw - there are 365 days in a year, divided by 2 is 182.5 days per half a year! 180 days means nothing. Just look at the DATE, add 6 months and that's the first day you can enter a show with your puppy. Period!

Re: Potomac age for puppies

But you can enter the match on Monday.

Re: Potomac age for puppies

thanks all, I wasn't sure how they counted months or days,
And thanks for clearing up the number of days in a year, who knew...LOL

Re: Potomac age for puppies

No she can't. The age for the match is also 6 months.

Re: Potomac age for puppies

Your puppy will be still eligible for sweeps at potomac 2014

whew

Re: Potomac age for puppies

On the plus side your puppies will still be eligible for the 15 -18 classes next year in sweeps and regular and will probably be the oldest in their class, which could possibly give them an adavantage over less mature looking puppies. One time I had a dog I bred who the way it worked out, turned 6 months old on the first day of Potomac so could show, then turned 18 months old the day after Potomac started the next year, so was able to be in sweeps two years in a row.
