I would like to know the opinion of some of our judges on worn teeth. In a recent show, the judge faulted it. As a judge, I do not fault worn teeth, It is not a fault in our standard. The dog otherwise was a handsome dog, good mover, etc. My champion bitch has worn down teeth due to her carrying her ball and rubber toys in her mouth constantly. She finished before she was 2 yrs old and her teeth had not worn down yet. She is now 9 yrs. old. Her 5 yr old son who also carries toys in his mouth show wearing down of his teeth. So the bottom line is...I would not fault worn teeth on a dog that meets the standard otherwise with correct motion and structure. Any opinions?
