Hi Wolftrap,
I had a similar situation. I bought a beautiful female puppy who had a perfect bite. . until about 6 months of age. It changed overnight. I kept hoping that the lower jaw just had a growth spurt, but it never corrected. I had wanted to breed her and felt conflicted. I finally decided that I should have her spayed and not perpetuate the flaw. I decided to look at the overall quality of the breed instead of my love for the dog. As it turned out I am glad that I made that decision. This dog has become more aggressive after turning about 15 months. The poor breeding techniques spilled over into her temperment. If the breeders were not careful about the bite it is unlikely they were careful about other aspects of the parents. I hope this helps. I love my yorkie, under bite, bitchey and all, but in the end I am glad I made the decision that I have. We all need more than one yorkie. If I decide to breed it will be with a show quality dog. I feel that I have to protect the integrity of the breed--what made the yorkies so special to begin with. We shouldn't veer from that objective.
