Unfortuately, having double bottom canines is a problem if not pulled soon...see how the adult teeth are being pushed out if line. They will not move into the correct position if you wait much longer...and that results in the bottom teeth striking the top ones in the worng place..then that pushes the top teeth adult out of line. It makes them more prone to early adult tooth loss also..a real mess that effects their health and well being.
She looks a fine size for spaying..at 8 months she isn't going to grow much more...everything is a risk..driving to the store, but we must do it...

I have seen Yorkies get a mouth full pulled, plus a spay/neuter..best wishes
