Question
I just received a dachshund dog today 8/23/09 she has grey around her mouth, approximately how old is she?

My second question is what type of dog food should I give her to keep her in good health?

Answer
If you just got this dog, you probably would do well to have her examined by your vet to start her off on a good health regimen.  The vet should be able to give you a better idea of her age than I; usually they can tell by how worn the teeth are.
