NOG 48 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I got two dogs with snapped canines never effected them work wise. My mate also got a foxing bitch with one canine she has no problems neither. Quote Link to post
skycat 6,173 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Could eventually cause a problem with infection below the gum line: just keep an eye on it and if it starts to bother the dog then get it taken out. Note: dogs often don't show much sign of pain from teeth, so watch for changes in temperament (getting grumpy), bad breath, unwilling to strike, change in colour of the bit of tooth remaining.
