I have a nice bitch with the very same problem. I posted this question to the list last week, and everyone jumped on me. My vet certified her teeth when she was a year old -- now two lower incisors have been knocked out in very rough play. Judges said, basically: "We wouldn't believe a vet's note", "We wouldn't look at a vet's note" "everyone's dishonest, bla bla bla "Fuggeddaboudit" Seems unfair, as she was not born that way and certainly would not "pass it along". ----- Original Message ----- ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
