How old is my 10 year old Shih Tzu REALLY?

The old popular myth that 1 dog year equals 7 years of a human life is not accurate, & Vet's have changed the dog years...however, different sites say different things. My Shih Tzu's 10th B-day is tomorrow & I'm simply just curious how old he will REALLY be?!?!...Some sites say 65, some say 62, some even say 56...Does anyone REALLY know??

    13 for the first year and 7 for each year after that.

    As a dog`s life is short, turning their years to equal ours is pure conjecture. Your dog is 10, and hopefully will live to a ripe old age of 15.

    with a shih tzu sized dog, I think the calculation goes a little like this

    15 year for 1st year

    10 more years for 2nd

    4 years for each additional year following.

    I think it's just his age because old dogs tend to sleep more than young ones, about him not walking, it may be that he has arthritis and since he doesn't perform activities like he used to he doesn't need to eat much. But to make sure you should go to the vet

    See, all our answers are different. It's really hard to tell, no one knows EXACTLY. :\

    10x7=70 at least, that's what i think how old it is...
