| Is it possible for a 6 month old puppy to have NO grown up teeth yet? My vet doesn't believe so but I wondered if experienced breeders have ever encountered this happening. I know they retain their baby teeth but can they be that old and not have any adult teeth starting at almost 7 months?

| Max lost his baby teeth so fast within 1 week that I didn't even know he was losing them until they were almost gone. The girls I would find a tooth once in a while. Most of the time they just swallowed them. By 7 months all were gone but their canines. Never heard of them still having all their baby teeth at 7 months except once. A friend got a small dog, the breeder said she was 14 weeks. Took her to the vet, & the vet said the breeder lied. The puppy was only 6 weeks. So that's a 2 month difference. So at 7 months it was only 5 months old & was just starting to lose it's teeth.

| I don't know. My vet questioned the age of both my pups based on their teeth eruption. I'm wondering if some toy breeds are not just real slow in tooth development. The first time I thought maybe the breeder just didn't tell me the correct age but I really believed the second breeder & the age she gave me. |
