Ive googled it? Dog with excessive amount of teeth?

Has anyone ever seen a puppy with an excessive amount of teeth? They are coming from under her tongue out her jaw everywhere in her mouth. She is having surgery next week and we won't know till all the extra have been extracted if they are baby teeth still there with the adult teeth coming in but its really bad. Has anyone ever come across this and could you link me to any sites you know of. She is from a basement breeder of GSD

Ive googled it? Dog with excessive amount of teeth?
I have read in a few breed books that sometimes puppies don't drop their baby teeth when the adult teeth come in and usually you will have to take them to a vet that knows how to deal with this sort of situation. I have 4 Miniature Pinschers. When my very first minpin started to lose his puppy teeth and get his adult teeth, some of his puppy teeth didn't drop. Sometime they never will. I was fortunate though. Within a month of my first minpin getting his adult teeth the puppy teeth that hadn't dropped had finally started to fall out. Some dogs it takes longer and in some dogs it don't. Sometime you need vet assistance with this sort of thing. That's what it sounds like to me. I am glad you are getting this taken care of. I hope everything goes well for you and your four legged friend. She will be happy that you did. Good Luck!

hope your dogs alright
Reply:I've never heard of that. Could very well be a result of inbreeding.
Reply:I am so sorry for your dog But i have never heard of that... well i hope your dog is ok!!! ( :
Reply:My dog (beagle) had an excessive amount of toes...but not teeth. If I remember correctly, he had two extra ones on each of his back legs, and the vet removed them at the same time he was neutered. It's likely the extra teeth are a mutation or a defect of some sort...the vet said my dog's extra toes were definitely a birth defect.
Reply:This usually happens with retained baby teeth in small breed dogs. Not sure what has caused the problem with you puppy. Hope surgery goes well.
Reply:Hi JR. I've looked at the Cornell web site for you to try to help you out but all they have is the normal too many baby teeth and how they should be extracted. Nothing even comes close to what your describing. There seems to be no reference to the condition your describing. You may have a first your hands.


I can't imagine them continually growing back but who knows. They will be able to see if there are any further tooth buds in place and then advise you better.


I wish you the very best with this dog.
Reply:JR Hi I have never had one who had teeth everywhere like you describe but I have had a rescued Yorkie that had 2 complete sets of teethe. His baby had never fallen out and had to be extracted. I of course was never intending to breed him he was neutered and give up for adoption, but the vet figured he was about 3 or 4 at the time. Apparently he was from a puppy mill or backyard breeder who just kept inbreeding and that may have caused the abnormality. I don't have a source except I could give you my vets number, just from my one and hopefully only experience with such a problem.
