Just like people, dogs can develop tooth decay and gum disease. Bad breath or bleeding at the base of a dog's teeth are often signs of a problem in a dog's mouth. Just like when a person has tooth decay or a gum problem, the condition is probably painful, it's just that dogs are pretty stoic about showing pain.
The bottom line is, if your dog's teeth are bleeding at the gum line the dog should be examined by your veterinarian.

How old is a Dog when it will get its permanent teeth through?
Dogs, like most mammals with the exception of humans and most great apes, will continue to lose and develop new teeth through-out their entire life. This process generally starts at the age of about 3 months for most canines, and continues at rates varying from 3 to 9 months for the rest of the duration of the dog's life. This point on canine physiology explains why it's so difficult to get Fido to quit chewing on whatever isn't nailed down.It's vitally important that dogs are always allowed something to chew on, because of this. Chewing helps the dog to break away old teeth so that the new teeth may erupt naturally. If a dog is denied the ability to "chew away" it's old teeth, the new teeth may erupt at odd angles. Extreme occurances of this have lead to dogs with teeth literally erupting all over their jaw.
