    Hi Jacqueline,
    Maisy had hers by the time she was 6 months, you will know when she loses her puppy teeth as you will most likely find blood on things she has chewed (including other dogs she may play with!) you may find the odd tooth and there will be gaps in her mouth. Then all of a sudden, with Maisy anyway, there was a mouth full of adult teeth. I was amazed at how quickly they all grew through, though they take a while to be fully grown I think.

    Unfortunately that does not mean the biting will stop - just that the teeth are not as sharp!!
    It does calm down though, maybe? o_O

    The vet removed some of Maisys when she was under anaesthetic, at the same time as she was spayed. Sometimes new ones grow and the old ones dont fall out on their own, the vets can check for you. I think this is quite common, dont worry.

    Finn had "doubles" for a while but they fell out on their own. I was about to get them removed at the vet because stuff would get stuck between the two teeth and I was worried he would get an infection. Thankfully I didn't have to. Just keep an eye on them!
