Is it normal for a 12-week-old puppy's front teeth to still not be fully grown?

My puppy's other baby teeth seem to be fully grown but some of her front teeth are still not all the way out of her gums. Will they keep her permanent teeth from growing in right?

Most dogs start losing their puppy teeth at 16 weeks old, although that varies widely from breed to breed and each animal has its own internal clock. If the puppy's parent have normal teeth, then you shouldn't start worrying until the dog is about 6 months old.
Reply:Yep :)
Reply:Yeah its totally normal even if they don't grow out in the next year its still is
Reply:I think so. It took my babies awhile to get all theirs in. I wouldn't be too terribly concerned. Just keep an eye on it for a couple more months.
Reply:Yeah. They are getting ready to lose their baby teeth and get their adult teeth.
Reply:my 4 mth old poochi still has all his baby teeth,it can take a while to get the new ones. i have had other pups whose baby teeth were still in when the new fangs pushed through. i wouldn.t worry about it until he is a yr old or so.
