I'm not posting this with the intention of making anyone mad. Most people out there want pet quality dogs not show quality at least people that I have talked too. My yorkie that just had 3 gorgeous pups has an underbite and no one seems to care. I've not had a problem selling her pups. They have all been told of her underbite and no one yet has cared. I would say that it is personal preference. That there are also good arguments for both sides of this. I personally would breed her if you really wanted to and there was nothing else medicall wrong with her. My vet told me of Mollie's underbite the first time I took her to the vet. I get comments on her all the time she looks like she is smiling.

The lady's dog I used for the stud has the pick of the litter and she hopes that she gets Mollies underbite. Like I said I think it's just a preference thing.

Good Luck.
