Another post from me, the newbie

So my pup is losing a bunch of his puppy teeth. He is 6.5 months.
Yesterday he lost 2 and today he lost 2. I noticed that his bottom canines are double-banking. New canines growing behind puppy canines that have not fallen out yet. The adult canines look about halfway grown. They are no longer in line with the rest of his gum line. Will this correct itself once the puppy canines fall out?
Another reason why I want to get him neutered asap (see my other thread)
so that I can have these teeth pulled if necessary. 2 birds, 1 stone...

Thanks for any advice!!!!

A few of Dutch's teeth did this too and his teeth are PERFECT! Does he have any bones to chew on or toys that you could play tug-o-war with?

My puppies had the same problem and I ended up taking them to the vet to have the pulled. They were also having a difficult time dropping their baby molars so they were taken out as well. Their breath was horrible up until the molars were taken out. They did very well and got thier first teeth polishing that day!

My girl, Angel, had the same problem but the baby teeth fell out fine. The adult canines came in almost half way before the baby ones fell out but was no problem at all. I kept an eye on them and the vet would have removed them if need be, but it all worked out well. My dogs always have an assortment of chew items like rawhide, those huge bones and pigs ears to keep them happily chewing and I think that helps. One of their favorite chew items is the hooves on a rope, gives them serious chewing and they last forever.

Just keep an eye on the teeth and if you get too concerned things are not moving along well, your vet can remove the baby ones.

OH, and I LOVE your avatar pic...LOL. It took me a few seconds to realize what it was... due to being a small pic of course, but it is great!! LOL

Snoops' breath has been terrible the past few weeks!!! A very fishy smell... you can smell it a mile away. UGH! I took him in for grooming and had them brush his teeth as well. It was better, slightly. Now, over the past few days it has instantly improved - perhaps because his teeth are falling out. Cute puppy breath again!!!

Snoops is so fussy about me brushing his teeth... at best he will let me wipe them down with a soft cloth. The minute I bring the tooth brush out he heads for cover.
