Pretty sure they lose all of their teeth at some point.  It starts between 5 and 7 months and goes from there.  My Ariel was still losing teeth after a year old.

All dogs have 28 baby teeth by the time they are 6 weeks old. As their nutritional needs and habits change when they are older, they need to loose their baby teeth before a permanent set of 42 teeth can break through.
The small teeth in the front also,called Incisivi, are lost first and permanent incisivi break thorugh at around 3-5 months. The 4 big ones,the permanent canines, break through at around 5-7 months of age. The 1. premolar, right behind the canines, break through around 4-5 months, while premolar 2,3 and 4 break though around 5-6 months. The first premolar is the biggest tooth in dogs. The molars in the back are the last ones to break through at around 4-7 months of age.

At the time of teething your dog will enjoy lots of chewing toys and treats.

You might want to get a book about dog health that explains a lot about your dog's physiology.
