8 months old, it's time to see a vet for baby teeth removal....if you plan on nuetering, you can have both done at the same time. That way he only has to be put under 1 time.

Checking to see if his bite is off is pretty easy....he should have a scissor bite or a level bite...if his bottom teeth come up over his upper bite, he's under shot, if his upper teeth come down to far over his lowers, he has an over bite. if it goes off to the side he has a rye mouth....
