Hmm, I think there's only supposed to be one tooth there. She has a spare!
Yeah, most of the pictures I'm finding show just one tooth there. She's a mutant!Hmm, I think there's only supposed to be one tooth there. She has a spare!
I would have never even noticed if I hadn't taken a picture. ;pHmm.. that is interesting.. now you got ME curious.. gonna have to check my boys tonight and see if both sides of their mouth are consistent with the amount of teeth.
Huh, I guess it just must be pretty common for dogs to have a variable number of premolars. I'm pretty sure when I was reading about it that there were many breeds with more or less teeth than "normal."I think those are premolars. The Vet told me that my dog has two extra teeth no both sides, and they're small like the one behind the canine in the picture above... so he has 3 small ones in a row. Also, his gums are not pink... they're purple... always have been... and the Vet always admires his teeth, otherwise. We think he is Lab-GSD mix. We don't suspect Chow.
However, a Chow is said to have two more teeth than other dogs... ???
Cash's mouth looks like a tied-dyed splash of black, purple and pink.. its a pretty colorful mouth, not sure if its a common Shiba thing?I think those are premolars.

JC had to have one of his premolars pulled, the one Sydney has two of actually (it was loose somehow). The vet informed me that many dogs don't actually have that particular tooth. I thought he was getting old and crazy, but apparently its true haha.Huh, I guess it just must be pretty common for dogs to have a variable number of premolars.
