Fiona (our mix) has yet to lose ANY of her puppy teeth. As most of you know, her exact age is kind of up in the air.
We just know she had all (or close to) of her puppy teeth when we took her to the vet a week after we brought her home. The vet guessed she was "about" 8 weeks. I have read a puppy can get all of their puppy teeth between 6 and 8 weeks.
Now, at our "about" 14.5 weeks she still has EVERY single tooth. At puppy class tonight her trainer suggested that there is a chance she may be younger since she has not lost one tooth....
At what age did your puppy start to lose teeth? I have read it starts at 12 weeks.
Could Fiona be younger than we guessed? This would then mean she was taken from her liter younger than 8 weeks... may explain some mouthing and bite inhibition struggles we had and are still working on...
Any thoughts?
