Does anyone know the approximate age when our corgis should have their adult lower canines? Dale's still aren't coming in and he is scheduled to be neutered around the 24th of May?

They should be in by 6 mos. of age. How old is he now? Have the puppy canines fallen out yet?

I had his bottom canines pulled when he was a baby and still no sign of his adult canines. They are scheduled to be pulled when he is neutered in May. Chip's were in when he was 6 months old but no sign of Dale's yet. Dale will be 5 months on the 28th.

Is pulling the bottom set of canine common practice. Or did Dales' doctor say he was going to have teeth problems if they weren't pulled. This is the first I've heard of it? I am so interested, do tell!:D
