Default bite

It is not a freak thing, it is a recessive thing. Recessive genes can skip generations and will show up when bred to another dog who is also recessive for that gene. If you breed your girl, look for a male without the recessive gene.

We had a thread recently and the posted had photo's of the dogs bite..it was not good and she asked for opinions..that is what I meant by a photo..

This is a good lesson for breeders who place pets and want them to stay pets..I give no papers until the pup is spayed/neutered if places for a pet. A simple solution for me.

People point out some breeds such as the Bull Dog that have natural undershot jaws..but they have large strong teeth that do not fall out as a result of the poor bite..tooth loss is the most common bad bite consequence. Yorkies are so prone to early tooth loss..compounding it with a bad bite is a double wammy for them.

Yorkiegold...yes, yes, yes, ...a bad topline is the worst for me. If you can not balance a teacup/saucer on the back for get it! LOL
