Dolls N DreamsCooper is doing wonderful, feeling more at home everyday, Miss Tiff still likes to boss him some 
he loves Tiff though! Say a little prayer for him, I take him in Wed. morning for his teeth cleaning, hope they don't find any bad teeth that would have to be removed......I took this picture today, while he was resting......his fur is growing back pretty fast, don't you think he has a sweet face 
He is adorable and he's a very lucky guy to have such a wonderful family!!!
PennsylvaniaGood looking dog! :thumbsup:
His hair is growing in nicely. It will probably take a couple of groomings before there is a difference between the length of his coat and the length of his mustache but, even so, he is looking more schnoz-like all the time. He's got the schnoz eyebrows and his coat looks good.
He's got nice, clear eyes. Our schnauzer had cataracts which made his eyes look cloudy. From what I was told, that's common for schnauzers as they get older.
How do you feel about his teeth? Have you looked? Do you think he shows any signs of pain when he eats? Does he have really bad breath? Not just your average "dog breath." I mean STINKY dog breath!" ;)
He doesn't look like he has teeth problems. But what can you tell by looking at a picture on the internet?
Anyway... Glad Cooper is doing well.

thanks, they are pretty dirty (stained) I hope that is all, his breath is not terrible, but is compared to Miss Tiffs it is bad, I did start brushing his teeth everyday when I got him so he would get use to the idea, he does not seem to mind it at all, so that is great!
PennsylvaniaIf he tolerates you brushing his teeth then he's not in any obvious pain. Not a conclusive sign but still a good sign.
It's good to get his teeth cleaned. As calculus (tartar) builds up on a dog's teeth, the bacteria which harbor below the gum line can exude toxins that the dog swallows. Over time this can affect a dog's health and make him sick. It's good that you're getting his teeth cleaned. If his teeth are making his mouth stinky he's overdue. It might be better to give him the full cleaning under anesthetic instead of the "no sleep" treatments that some vets use. I don't know for sure. You have to weigh the circumstances. My dad always had his dogs anesthetized so they could have the full treatment.
He might "complain" about it for a day or so, afterward, but he'll end up being healthier.
I'll bet you Cooper perks up quite a bit after his visit to the dog dentist. 
Tami, he's looking absolutely wonderful, what a beautiful boy....
Have you been practicing your airbrushing on him??
Relish BearsWhat a beautiful looking dog!

Yes he will be put to sleep for the cleaning! I have to take him over there at 8:00 in the morning, but they said I should be able to pick him up after lunch. I will be glad when it is all over and I know he will.
Chaska, MinnesotaCooper is simply darling Tami!
PennsylvaniaI will be glad when it is all over and I know he will.
He'll be fine! :thumbsup:
In a day or so, after he recovers from the anesthetic, he'll probably be acting like a new dog.
His mouth might be a bit sore for a while. That might put him off his food. Sometimes they'll eat better if they are offered soft food for a day or two.
But, once all that bacteria is gone, he won't have stinky dog breath anymore. Then, when he isn't swallowing all that nasty poison the bacteria produce, his health will likely get better, overall. I bet he'll be perkier and more responsive.
He'll be feeling a little under the weather when you bring him home and it will last until tomorrow or the next day but, once that's over, you'll be glad you had his teeth cleaned! 
The Littlest ThistleAww, who could resist those big eyes! Hope all goes well for him tomorrow
Past Time BearsGreat looking pup, Tami! Good luck tomorrow with his teeth cleaning - to both of you.
EJ's CraftsWhat a pretty dog Cooper is. I suppose I shouldn't say pretty because he is a boy but he is. I just love his color.
