As Donna explained.....it all depends on the judge. However, one must look at the dogs mouth and access the jaw, if there is a jaw misalignment, most likely it is a structural issue and as Donna said the dog should not be bred.
As to your question whether there are many dogs being shown whose bites are slightly off, since I don't look in the mouths of other's dogs, I couldn't tell you.
