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.
