My chi had double canines when he went in to get neutered. They pulled all four baby teeth. It is definitely common, among toy dogs I hear. My friend has a toy poodle and he has double canines also.

Whish is why a lot of people decided to try to do a spay/neuter and a teeth extraction under the same anesthesia...saves money and only a one time danger.... > Marsha > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Stefanie Brannan > To: [email protected] > Sent: Wednesday, April 04, 2007 5:04 PM > Subject: [Chihuahuas] Chi's Retaining Baby Teeth > > > > Has anyone else had a Chi who retained some of their baby teeth? My 7 month old Chi, Cricket still has all four (2 upper and 2 lower) baby canine teeth and the adult teeth are growing in next to them! All four of the baby teeth are not falling out and not even loose. I asked the vet and he said they will have to be pulled. It is going to cost between $180 and $450, depending on the sedation/anesthesia used! The vet said this is a common problem in the smaller dogs. I had no idea.
