We got the call today that Grey will have to have his lower canine teeth removed on Friday by a specialist canine dentist. He has an overshot upper jaw which has resulted in his lower canines sitting behind his upper teeth and puncturing holes in his upper palette. It's hoped that removing his canines like this that the adult teeth that follow will be able to be pushed in front. He may need to wear an acrylic plate, like a brace for dogs!
The slovaks are known for getting their teeth late. One thing I feel is imperative for such a new breed with such a small gene pool, is that where problems have been identified that those pairings are filtered out. Having to have him put under and having his teeth pulled isn't a nice thing. And this is just the start. Sorry Grey! Bo show career for you!
Here are pics of Grey's bite:
