First off, no I would not recommend a dog park because even if your dog is tolerant of other dogs, if he gets bit then he'll start up.

Now for your vet wishing to pull your dog's teeth, why is that? Can you give some info.? The vet I go to will only pull baby teeth if the baby teeth are retained and are literally in front of the adult teeth, which is unusual since the adult teeth will normally push off the baby teeth. Btw, 6 months is early. My dog lost his last tooth, the left canine at 10 1/2 months more or less and all his teeth were in full length at the age of 12 months. According to my vet, a pup will have his adult teeth in by the time he is 12 months old, however it is more common for dogs to have their adult teeth in at an earlier time. The time frame itself varies from 8-12 months. It is more or less like the growth rate of dogs. Some people have dogs that are full grown by 12 months and under while other dogs, regardless of breed, won't be physically mature until 24 months. I am inclined to agree with one of the above users saying it is an easy way for your vet to make money. I'd look for another vet.
