Hey David, on another board you mentioned something about the Black Mouth cur oversized teeth, can you elaborate on this a little when you have a minute? Thanks | |

Thanks David. I guess eventhough my girl has AB and Catahoula in her, she may have gotten the teeth from the Black Mouth Cur, because they do seem larger. | |

David, funny enough yesterday as my girl was playing with this 100lbs 4 years old male mastiff/shepard mix, the owner of the dog noticed my girls teeth,and was in shock that they were bigger than his dog...lol So, your observation was right and confirmed yesterday. | |

teeth size always intrigues me , one thing i remember reading on a pitbull message board was someone saying mastiffs in general have flatter teeth when compared to a pure apbt, is this true i wonder.... i do know one thing, some of those LGD's have Huge long sharp teeth! | |

Moderator Posts: 238 | The shape of a dogs teeth should depend on what the dog is for. Long sharp teeth are good for cutting and penetration, but they can be fragile when they too much sheering force is put on them. Because for a tooth to be sharp it had to be narrow at the base compared to it's length. While a shorter broader tooth will cut less it will take more force without breaking. That's why you typically she the sharper type of teeth on smaller dogs. | |
