Same here. At 5 months, one of our boys practically had a complete set of
double teeth. We called him our little "shark." <G> Then, almost all the
baby teeth fell out over a 3 day period. I was picking up little teeth all
over the place. Man, do they hurt if you step on one barefoot!
We, too, have had pups retain some baby teeth up to 7 months. The permanent
teeth came in just fine. I still say the vet had no business pulling that
pup's teeth when they would have fallen out on their own.

I agree.
Other than the incisors......we don't expect teeth to be falling out at five
months or for
them to have their permanent teeth in by then either.
Actually right at five months you should be able to see a double row of teeth.
The baby
teeth and the permanent teeth just popping through. We have had pups retain
their puppy
teeth up to 7 months.
Had one not loose a puppy tooth till WELL AFTER 7 months.......but that was
because there
was NO PERMANENT TOOTH pushing it out! (...but that's a whole other new
issue..
<G> )
As Debbie said 'it aint over yet at 6 months' ........<G>

I'd expect to see baby teeth still working their way out at 5 months old.
