I have seen the wearing down caused by constantly carrying an object and also hitting the sleeve repetitively over years can cause wear. Even the molars can be worn down to the gums from working out on toys ( sticks and rocks, too).

Joanro mentions rocks which some may think is funny but I remember a GSD that our neighbor had when I was growing up  that used to play fetch with rocks.  she wouldn't fetch sticks but a rock if you picked it up she would try to bring it back no matter how big.  her name was Ruby

Burned ailve in my bed it would seem.  Tongue Smile

I"ve heard some incredibly dumb questions by the OP at other times. Now, I think they said they have difficulties with communicating in English, so I gave them a break, I actually deleted my first response in favor of a clarification.

Some lines are predisposed to having weak teeth that break easily(canine especially), lots of reasons for this to occur but it is seen by LE and sport people quite a bit.

My male is a rescue. For the first three years of his life, he lived tied to his doghouse on an 8 foot chain. His owner...pardon me, jailer, said he didn't give him toys to play with because he'd just rip them to pieces. So, he played with rocks. By the time I adopted him both his bottom canines and his front molars were very worn. It's never caused him a problem though, and he STILL plays with rocks if he can find one!  Roll eyes  And despite the worn teeth, he still manages a very firm, full-mouth grip. (I've never done Schutzhund with him, though.)

To answer the questios.
 1Yes.
2. No. 
I would not worry about it too much unles the tooth is chipped into the root. But you can crown it and many dentist give discounts to LE.
