The only thing I may have to worry about in the future is his bottom canines stick into his top gums a bit and the vet said they could definitely start bothering him and leaving a mark in his top gums. So we may have to shave them down so they're not as sharp. Other than that, he eats perfectly normal, etc. You can kinda see it in this puppy pic...
Photo of Jackson is sooooo cute. Kiki's is quite a bit more undershot, I can run my finger all the way round her top teeth and the top canines do come over her gums. My hubby calls her "ratty", so I call him "fatty" lol. Will have to make sure my new vet and I are on the ball with her teeth from now on! I'd put another pic on when she's asleep to show you, but I'm useless and don't know how, except on my profile page.
Thanks for your input.
