It looks like twinning. How many upper incisors does he have in total? He should have 4, looks like more?

Blitzen, You mean 6 incissirs, right?
One more question, I beg your pardone Ruger1 and please allow me to ask the knowlegable members, is the bite shown in Ruger's picture correct cissors bite? that is in regards to the closing of up and bottom incissors.

Yes, 6 total - 4 of the smaller central incisors, the ones I was thinking about, 2 of the larger ones located in front of each canine. Twinning normally effects the smaller centrals ones as shown on Ruger's photo. It can effect either jaw. The dogs I had with twinning had double lower central incisiors, one had two. It's hard to tell how many smaller centrals this dog has, looks like more than 4. Maybe it's the angle of the photo.

Ibrahim,
Feel free to use my pictures of Prince to point out conformational faults as you see them....The vet told me he had the correct number of teeth, (whatever that means)....Prince has 7 ( counting the double tooth as one ) teeth between the two large canines...

Ruger 1,
Thanks
2nd picture, the front one, shows now his bite is correct, the previous 2 pictures you posted. the side ones made me think the closing was not correct. But I am not experienced on the teeth and bite, my aim was to learn.
I can see the extra tooth, but I am not sure it is one but split or they are twin, if it does not affect his bite I don't see a problem. Does anyone know what is best be done for this extra tooth? Thanks again Ruger

Nothing needs to be done for split/twinned incisors. They cause no harm and I'd think it wouldn't be a big deal in the ring. His bite looks perfect and he's not missing any teeth, so it should not be an issue. Most judges/ring stewarts have probably seen split incisors.

Thank you SM Mudi Compass is great. It's amazing what we can discover when we think that we might have a problem!!! All we have to do is Google and it's there.
It's one of the sites I list for my puppy people to check out.
Are there any other special sites that members can recommend for puppy people? I am always on the lookout for those special informative places.
