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.
You're right...I couldn't answer that question either because most exhibitors wouldn't allow you to look in their mouth if there were a problem and I've never had anyone come and ask me to look in my yorkies mouth LOL...but of course if that were to ever happen I would oblige them as my yorkies either have a level or scissor bite because I don't breed undershot or overshot mouths...
