There are many different degrees of overbite. Since the breeder was attentive enough to notice it she probably could tell you how bad the bite is. Many times you don't notice them until the adult teeth come in. A breeder that knows what they are doing would be checking for such things.

I don't have that much experience with Yorkie overbites but there are breeds out there where the overbite is almost to be expected. The Shih Tzu and Boxers are examples of dogs that can have extreme overbites when a bad breeding has taken place.

If the breeder is honest she will tell you how prevalent overbite is in her breeding stock. If it was just a fluke then fine but if it is pretty common I would be careful.
