They are usually very small and snugged right up against the molar. I have seen quite a few mares that had wolf teeth. Now CANINE teeth are very rare in mares - the single tooth in the center of the open space between the incisors & molars. These two very different teeth are often confused, or even thought to be the same thing (I've even heard a vet once refer to the canines in a mare we had as "wolf teeth"). There was actually a very good article written by Dr Doug Hammill, DVM of Montana on wolf teeth in a previous issue of Small Farmer's Journal.
