Under shot/overshot is not a disqualification but, definately a fault (though not a health issue). Level bite or scissor bite being acceptable. Did you have a Canine Orthodonist examine the pup.

Are you sure it's the jaw.....or removing puppy teeth allow those adult teeth to realign themselves? Massaging the bottom teeth, at the gum line ever so lightly and the uppers, behind the teeth may help. It can't hurt.
