Worn down teeth

Description

Some dogs wear their teeth away a lot quicker than others. This usually happens when a dog likes carrying around and skinning tennis balls, as the abrasive surface and chemicals in the glue slowly flatten the teeth down. Tug ropes can have a similar effect. Some dogs are also genetically predisposed to weaker teeth, or have bad habits such as carrying around rocks.

Top skull is a Belgian Tervuren. The one with worn-down teeth is unknown (I'd either guess a Collie, or maybe some sort of sighthound... The bones are a bit thick and the cheeks a little wide for a sighthound, though). The one in the comparison shots at the bottom is a German Shepherd.

Use photos as stock if you like, just don't claim to own the original photo. I'd like to see what you do with them, but whether or not you show me is up to you (just credit me for the picture, please!)

My pup has a terrible rock eating habit. (Strange rocks he can break like chalk, but still a bad habit, since he'll chew on concrete, probably trying to do the same v.v...)
