Tooth Problems

[Shamohead 4]

Hi lads, wondered if anyone could give me abit of advice, got the chance to buy a very very well bred black fell, smart as paint. The pup is 6mth old, the problem is one of his upper fang baby teeth hasn't fell out and this as stunted the growth of his adult fang, it looks like he's got two small fangs on that side. Has anybody encountered this problem? Thanks fellas

I'll post a pic soon and I'll also try to post a pic of tooth prob, it's the first pup I've seen with this prob, that's why I wanted abit of advice, no probs with under/over shot, just this one tooth, it's like the top right fang is small with this other tooth growing at the back.

Would letting him gnaw a big knuckle bone no help getting it out ?.

play with a rope with him like

let him bite in it and pull with him:

 

 

that always worked with dogs from people i know!

Its very common, and in nearly all cases It will come away with time, just let him work his teeth on bones and toys.

Thanks again fellas

Buying a very well bred dog?

[Shamohead 4]

Meaning bred off really good working lines that have been carefully considered to produce dogs that have the potential to become excellent working dogs that should also do well in the show ring!!! Does anyone else need me to describe want a well bred dog means???

If you look at the post properly i was questioning the post by stanley who seems to be questioning buying a well bred dog for some reason.
