I think in that in the second movie,she's about 18 in dog years since they are sexually mature in their first year,but this takes longer in wolves and some large dog breeds

I agree 100% Like Cat said Aleu has that rebellious dramatic attitude. Plus some spunk!

I think Aleu is anywhere from 14-16

Well, she's certainly stubborn enough.

In the movie when she was playing with Muk and Luk, didn't boris say "she was a year old and didn't have a home of her own."? So that means she is seven right? By the third movie she would've been a teen.

Actually he said "More than a year old," but that's a good point.

If you want to get technical about it, Aleu is 1yr old in the movie (7 canine years), and judging by what you read, 1yr is the age of maturity in most canines.
So, not to go into agonizing detail about this, Aleu is roughly the equivalent of a 16-18yr old human during WQ; so, yes, she's a teenager.

The trouble with this whole thing, methinks, is that we try to think of it in linear terms. Dogs do not age at a rate necessarily tied in with ours. A "dog year" in their first calendar year may not be the same as in subsequent calendar years, and their life cycle, as has been pointed out, may not be the same. So we're a bit limited if we try to guage it in terms of straight numbers.

Yes, From her voice and the way she acts I would say she's anywhere from 14-16

I guess you could say "Teenager"
she wasnt pup, nor was she an adult, and she acts like one too
Cause, I guess when you're a teen, you dont really know who you are.

Isn't Alue supposed to still be a kid cuz on dog year is like seven human years, so she's one and that makes her seven then she needs to be two to be a teenager?

wow, so balto musta been a teen too,huh?

Dogs never become teenagers. A dog becomes an adult around 6-12 months of age.

Agreed, she appears to accually BE a teen. Wow! I guess dogs DO have teen years...In the cartoons at least!
