[Missy's Mommy]

When I got Max at 12 weeks old he had a slight underbite, his breeder told me this before we picked him out and was selling him at about 1/4 the cost of his litter mates because of his bite. She told me it could very well correct itself as he grows but she could not guarantee.. Well, good news! It did correct itself with in a few months, he now has a scissor bite. But I can tell you while he had the underbite he had no troubles eating at all because all his other teeth lined up really well, it was just the very front ones that were off.

I think if you are considering getting a puppy with either an under or overbite you should open their mouth to make their bite lines up evenly on the sides, you wouldn't want the bite so bad that the teeth actually hit the roof of the mouth or the gums preventing the mouth to close all the way etc.
