teeth questions Hello, I am new to the world of yorkies having had afghans my for 30 years. Now I feel like I know nothing about dogs! My little 5 1/2 month old boy is wonderful. However I am curious about his teeth or lack of teeth. He has teeth on the top of his gums but the bottom 4 do not even show little nubs. He has all 4 canines and the molars. I am guessing teeth are an issue with this breed? He is becoming a great pet. I will be using him for my obedience classes as a demo dog and he is brilliant even without those teeth! Would love to hear comments. Sally |
Yes yorkies are known to have teeth problems, but thats as far as i know. I don't know why your baby's teeth aren't showing in the bottom, but for a 5 month old i don't think thats normal. Maybe someone else can give you more info on this. |
In my searches I found what I think its called "retained" teeth, the puppy teeth have come out and the adult ones are waiting to appear very slow, and I read this can be up to age 7 months even. Its so very odd as are many things "toys". He is good with the teeth brushing and all grooming things except lately he is arguing about toe nails. I will cross my fingers over his teeth, maybe Santa will bring him a break through! |
Haha!! Santa will bring that baby his bottom teeth. And I didn't even think about retained teeth. That's what it is ,most likely. I hope he gets his teeth soon!!! |
