This message is from: Jean Ernest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Are you talking about CANINE teeth? These are just behind the last incisors. Wolf teeth are tiny teeth just IN FRONT of the molars. These you remove. You should NOT remove canine teeth! They will usually have a very large root. Yes, few mare have canines, usually, but many have wolf teeth! My young mare Adel has wolf teeth, but they don't seem to be a problem.
If your "horse dentist" is calling Canine teeth "wolf teeth", I would get another dentist!
