At what point do I need to start being concerned about my pup's teeth? He has adult teeth coming in and baby teeth sitting right there next to them. I have never seen this before and wondering how to approach it.

They may need pulling. This is a genetic problem with some dogs and if they are left there to long they will cause the permenet teeth to move out of line causing problems for the dog all of it's life. Check with your vet and he can tell if they are still tight and will need pulling. And if it turns out to be a problem I wouldn't breed the dog.

How old is the pup? I worried as well but quickly had nothing to worry about....Hopefully the same is true

He is nearly 5 mos. Lo and behold I looked in his mouth today and there is only one puppy tooth left in the front.
