As someone mentioned earlier, the bite won't get better, it will only get worse with generation after generation.
There is a breeder here in town that has bred her bitch with a slight underbite and I would never buy a pup from her. It is an obvious fault and cannot improve only get worse. |
My hypothetical included
only a situation where she bred to a male who did not have the recessive gene for underbite in his DNA. I would never breed the dog under the circumstances you just outlined. That would be too risky.
