If baby teeth are not removed, a double row of teeth are formed, this can cause a bad bite, as well as a crevice for food to lodge, leading to decay and infection. Dental problems are one of the weaknesses of Yorkies, and good dental hygiene is important to their overall health. By the way, baby teeth are extreemly sharp, and that might help you tell the difference.
It's not necessary for a female to be around before a male begins to mark.
