Hello, congratulations on your new puppy. Most puppies will begin to exchange their teeth around 3 months and may last until they are 8 months of age. In some instances with large breed puppies, their puppy teeth fail to fall and they need to be removed by your veterinarian, however this occurs more often in small/toy breed dogs.

Hope this helps and best of luck with her.

    Puppies start losing their baby teeth around 3-4 months of age, and by the time they are 7-8 months old, they should have all of their permanent teeth. I would not move Marshall up until he is at least 7 months old.
