Reverse Scissor????? are you speaking too undershot. There is not disqualification for bite. However, the standard reads level or scissor. One has to look at the jaw to access if it is a structural issue....in that case if you breed you are taking a chance that some offspring
will have that issue and pass it on.

Judges if judging as they are taught, they are not looking at the faults but, the dogs good points and bouncing those points against the standard.
