If at 8 or 9 months, your pup still hasn't lost all his baby teeth, you will need to get them pulled, yes. My Mandie held onto her top canines. She will be getting them pulled next week. I waited until she was a year old so I would feel more comfy with her size and going under the anesthesia.

Is this also a concern for Julie (Shih Tzu)? She gets spayed this Friday (18 weeks of age).
Is this the reason my Mom’s shih tzus have an overbite? Or this is common for shih tzus?
I’m also going to have her chipped.
