Just a note to add about wolf teeth. They pull out relatively easy compared
to the other teeth so it can be done with some sedation and that's it.

they should come out right away.

Back on topic .. my vet believes that wolf teeth are much more common in fjords
.. but said she sees them fairly often in thoroughbreds too -- I guess we need
to define "fairly often" -- that works against your theory, Karen, which had

Are you talking about CANINE teeth? These are just behind the last

Hello Cheryl,

I believe maybe the veterinarian confused his terminology. Wolf teeth
are common in both sexes and all breeds. They are the small teeth which
are usually immediately in front of, and touching, the big upper molars.
