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?
