So how old? (by teeth)

TankGrrl66 · 07-01-2011, 11:37 PM

How old would a puppy be when they don't really have any baby teeth, but all the adult teeth are just little nubs?

Freestep · 07-01-2011, 11:39 PM

probably about 5 months.

K. I figured she was 4-6 mos but wanted to peg it down a lil more. I go see her tomorrow, and I'm trying to gather info and everything...lol.

I'm also trying to keep an eye on her ears...from what I have been looking up, there is a relatively small time frame of "Oh don't worry, they will stand up" and "What? you didn't tape them?"...so I am trying to figure that out too.

My pup got his first adult tooth just before 5 months, lost the last baby tooth just before 6 months.

If it's a GSD, 5 -6 months. I've never had a 4 month old with adult teeth.

My pups are almost 6 months. At 5 months they started loosing baby teeth. I think it will take about a month and half to get through loosing the baby and getting the adult. Does the pup have an molars way in the back yet? The ears can go down during teething too. If you want to try feeding 1/2 a chicken back per day, do that. I think it will help work those baby teeth out and give some calcium for those ears. And I have never seen one loose all the baby teeth at once and have all the adult teeth being little nubs at once either. Could this pup be chewing on rocks and wearing the teeth down?

Just looked at what day you originally posted this. Did you get the pup?

Oops! I lost track of this thread!

Well, things are different than they sounded on the phone!!!! I was told over the phone that instead of baby teeth, she had "nubs". These nubs were indeed her baby teeth!

When we went and picked her up, she had all of her baby teeth minus just the center most incisors. Those were adult and in.

In the past week she has lost some of the other ones, and the adult incisors have come in right after them. All other baby teeth are still there.

Does this mean she is about 3 mos?

Pups start teething at about 4 months and finish up with their canines around 6/7 months. Have you noticed a change in coat from the puppy to adult wave along the back and tail?
That happens about 14 to 16 weeks or so...

Her coat seems to be changing now, on her tail, rump, and thigh. There are little gray hairs that I assume will become undercoat?

If she had most but not all of her baby teeth then no she's not 3 months old. She'd be at least 4, possibly 5 months old. Teething starts at about 5 months old. So if yours has ANY adult teeth, she's probably about 5 months...
