We have a Border Collie that is missing all of his upper front teeth, thanks 
to one of the horses.  He emerged from the paddock spitting teeth and blood. 
I called our vet clinic and they referred me to a Bay Area canine dentist 
who indicated that for $8,000 they could do some implants and tooth 
restoration.  I decided the dog could live nicely without his upper teeth, 
and he hasn't missed a meal since then.  He also hasn't learned anything 
from that experience.  Herding is so deeply bred into them that they 
couldn't quit if they tried.
