Donna, I really have not shown yorkies that much and I still have lots to learn. I know the bite is important just as all structure is. Since there are no perfect dogs I was just wondering why breeders say never breed a dog with a bite that is not perfect but yet they breed dogs with other structural problems. All the dogs I have in my breeding program have nice bites but I still occasionally will get a pup with a bad bite. I recently had a litter with two over shot pups and that really puzzled me because up until that litter I had only had two over shot pups over the years. Both parents had nice bites so I guess somewhere back in the bloodline there might have been a bite problem or do these bad bites just show up no matter how careful you are?
What is a rye mouth?
