I have an 8mth old male yorkie pup called sparky who is really an adorable little man, and a fabulous addidion to our family. As he grows older i have noticed he has developed quite a bad undershot jaw (probably the width of my baby finger). It's not causing him any concern what so ever now but am worried it will as he grows older. I'm very inexperienced in pedigree dogs and have never came across this with any other puppy i have been in contact with. He also has two small "bald" spots on his head probably where horns would be if he could grow them lol.
Anyway, any help however small it maybe would be greatly received.
Thanks in advance for your responses.

My Mom's Cairn has a way, way undershot jaw. And alot of times when she looks at you, she'll have her bottom canine sticking out. We call her the wart hog!
But she's never had a problem with it. And if she didn't have the jaw, the breeder would have kept her for showing. So, I gues it all worked out as it should have.
With regards to the bald spots, I dont' know much about it. But I would just run it by your vet to make sure it's not a problem. Expecially consdering there's a huge list of things it could be.
Good luck with your new baby, and welcome!
