What? 8 1/2 weeks? Puppies do not have the same amount of pre molars as an adult dog with full dentition. Seriously tell those people to get a new vet. The puppy most likely has all the teeth he should have at 8 weeks. I would tell them to wait until the puppy gets all of their adult teeth and then have him re checked.
i guess that i don't understand why this is so offensive to you. my golden puppy is missing a premolar and my breeder is the one who called me to check it out and asked if my puppy was missing teeth. she wanted to take inventory as she kept 2 litter mates for show that were missing teeth. I guess that is the difference between breeders who really care about the puppies they are breeding - all of the pupples- show and pet. not sure why this has made you so angry- the owner was just asking a question.....geez
