I think I have only "seen" about two baby teeth with all the Yorkies I have had. The way you know the baby teeth aren't falling out like they should is that you will see a double row of teeth. Teething usually starts about 5 months, but unless your checking daily it usually goes on without any notice. It is very common for Yorkies not to lose all of their baby teeth so when you have her spayed if you have double sets of canine teeth (the upper and lower fang teeth) it is wise to have the baby set removed at this time since they are already under anesthesia.
