    That looks to me like someone filed them. My Duke plays with rocks but he does not chew them, he will bit down while playing and jump on them and bite on them but not actually lay there and chew. He does have some wearing of his canines (he loves his chew bones) but it is more of a flattening then a point.

    Dogs who like to chew rocks - knew a Labrador, Jake, once who loved to chew rocks - do not have pointy teeth like that. To the contrary, it wears them down and can break them badly. Jake's "boys" were made to to clear their yard of rocks, because he was doing such a job on this teeth - he could have a yard full of toys and bones and sticks and would instead root around the landscaping to find a rock to munch. Once they did a thorough job of clearing their own yard, he'd simply lope over to a neighbor's yard to find munchable rocks. Jake was not the brightest bulb on the tree, needless to say, and would "sneak" a rock into the house, go under my buddy Pete's bed to munch it on the sly, but the sound of teeth grinding against stone would wake the dead, and he never figured out how they knew!

    First let me say, Oh...he's so beautiful! I'm in LOVE with him

    Now as for that tooth...WOW I've never seen a tooth like that before. My parents had a rottie who liked to chew rocks and her teeth never looked like that.

    Sorry if I missed it, but how old is Brutus?

    Brutus is 4, and both his bottom canines look like this. with no other wear visible, which leads me to believe that they were Filed

    I can't see a way possible that his teeth would be sharp like that because of chewing rocks.

    IMO, they were filed like that on purpose.
