 I have a 8 y/o lab that has the same color of teeth as a 2-3y/o cur. The lab has been on raw for years, the cur has been on it for a month. I am sure just as in people teeth condition and heath are impacted by diet and genes. Just as in ageing deer by tooth wear. A deer in south texas that has to browse for much of it diet is not going to have the worn down teeth that a mid-west deer that raids the corn feilds 3-4 months out of the year. I may be wrong and looking into it alittle too much but......it doesnt make sense to me. Same principal for the coat. Climate,parisites,diet etc.
