Well Tucker has no problem with over crowding LOL and has never been pregnant or been used for breeding and he has a dental every 6 months simply because of tarter build up so badly.
Krissy is my smallest and still has all her adult teeth and has the least tarter build up and Brookie is her mother and Brookie has already lost a couple of teeth...now Harvey is another Brookie son and his teeth are like Krissy's not bad and still has his teeth but Tucker and Brookie are not related at all. Radar has nice teeth and the tarter doesn't build near as fast and he has a dental cleaning once a year. Of course they all are done by the vet.
