Hi Diane,

There are a number of things that can cause this. We had a GSD that loved
to play frisbee, we have a large sand riding ring that we used to play
with her in. The frisbee would get covered with slobber and sand and when
she'd catch it, it was like catching a sanding disk. All her fangs were
flat. Another thing that can cause it is if the dog was a rock chewer,
flat fangs are a common result of that. I wouldn't think that someone
filed them down per se when it's so easy for other, natural things to have
occurred. Does it effect her eating or anything?

[FARMCOLLIE] Flat fangs ?






I just noticed today that Shannon has flat topped fangs & we were
wondering
if her previous owner had this done to her (maybe by a vet), if she tried
to
chew out of a crate or something & messed up her fangs that way or if this
was something natural to Collies, so anyone have any ideas/theories?
