I'm so glad, Tonnie! The year after I first got them I adopted a Harrier hound with problems and she went for my teeth! She actually would not let me take them from her and went to attack me! Wonder what it is about them? Maybe the smell of the owner? Mine were repaired as best - but were never very goo so after all these years, I'm glad to have the new ones! (Clyde, back off!)
