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.
Let me add one thing to above. As breeder/exhibitors that are having their breeding stock evaluated and approved. It is our responsibility to take the judge the best representation of the breed.....including bites, rears, toplines, fronts, ear sets......etc.
