Yes, they do, and if you're lucky, you might even find a couple. Otherwise the pup will swallow them with no harm done. I I have four my dog's baby teeth.
Dogs have 28 deciduous (temporary) teeth and 42 permanent teeth. Puppies have no teeth at birth, and grow deciduous teeth beginning their second week of life. At three months of age, the deciduous teeth begin to be replaced by the permanent teeth. The replacement process begins with the incisors, and moves backwards through the canines, premolars and finally the molars. The turnover process is usually complete by the time the dog is eight months old, with none of the original 28 deciduous teeth remaining. Most deciduous teeth are swallowed with food and never seen by the pet owner. Occassionally a deciduous tooth is merely pushed to the side and retained next to the permanent tooth. Retained deciduous teeth can be removed by a veterinarian.
The incisors turn over from deciduous to permanent from two to four months of age. The canines usually convert around six months of age. The premolars and molars follow in that order, with the last permanent molar erupting around eight months of age.
The exact schedule does vary from breed to breed.

Yes they do loose the milk teeth. The milk teeth start coming out at four months and the adult teeth start coming in. You may find the little teeth on the floor or the dog may eat them either way it is not a big deal.

Yes, they do. Sometimes the milk teeth don't all fall out and get shoved to the side by the mature teeth when they come in. These "hanger-on" teeth are called "deciduous teeth" and often have to be surgically removed.

yes, look it up or ask a vet, but a common trait of most mammals are that they have milk teeth and then lose them for permanent teeth.
