My Fergus is 6 1/2 months old, and still has all his puppy teeth!

His adult teeth are growing in on top of them, but he doesn't seem to be losing any of his baby teeth as they come in.

Has anyone had this happen? its a first for me, he has like two rows of top front teeth and now has a double set at his canines!

The vet didn't want to pull them too eary (when he was neutered at 4 months) because she said they might come out, but that it hurt the placement of adult teeth if you pull too early.

I am seriously upset about this! I thought it was just one or two teeth, but when I was brushing his teeth today I found a whole row!

Am I over reacting or is this a serious breeding flaw?
