Question:

: My Jack Russell puppy has one of his dog lower tooth growing into his gum. He is ten weeks old. I was wondering when he will get his adult teeth as will have to take him to the vet and get this tooth pulled out and I would like to take him when he has his adult teeth.

There isn't anyway for me to answer this because I can't see the puppy mouth to know actually what is going on. Adult teeth normall come in around 4 months of age and most Vets are hesitant to pull baby teeth. The best thing for you to do is see your own Vet and let him make any decisions that need to be made.
