Default Overbite puppies

I just had a litter of Yorkshire Terriers, 2 of those had an overbites. The vet said they may grow out of it, but they might not. He said it was not a good idea to breed them, as they can pass this trait on to future generations. Also, to reguarly clean their teeth, but they say to reguarly clean all dogs teeth. So, I always inform the new owners about the overbite, so far it hasn't been a concern. I have had 2 in the past as well, I did sell them for less money, but didn't have to...but since they weren't perfect, I didn't feel like I could ask full price. My neighbor bought one of my puppies last year that had an overbite. He is doing great. She brushes his teeth regularly, the earlier you start that, the better. The sooner they are used to it, and don't mind it at all. He is a great puppy and family pet.
