Overbite????? Hi What Are The Problems Associated With Having An Overbite But On The Bottom Row Of Teeth? Are There Any? If So What Can I Expect? |
if it's the bottom row of teeth, it's called an underbite - or some will refer to it as being undershot. Oscar has this - it's not a big deal at all. Dogs that are under or over shot can't be shown and as far as pets, it's purely cosmetic. They can still eat, chew, etc. as normal. You can't even tell Oscar is undershot. |
In addition, I would not breed one that had an underbite, just so not to pass along a cosmetic flaw like that. Just my opinion, though. |
My boxer has an underbite. He has no problems with it, as Oscar's Mummy said it's purely cosmetic. Actually I think it's cute on my boxer :) |
no hes not going to be bred, i dont want to deal with that. he actually has an appointment in january to be clipped and snipped ouchhhhhhh :eek: but his akc is shaded to where he cant be bred and so his registration says also |
:thumbup: Kudos to you for getting your baby altered! As stated above, don't worry a bit about the underbite. Simply cosmetic. |
MY cocker Spaniel Tessa has a pretty bad underbite...her bottom teeth are set too far behind the top teeth....Cockers are the CUTEST puppies... but she had a very hard time picking up food as a baby & I hand fed her. She can now eat it off a plate - but not a dish. The reason ? she is plain spoiled lol -:p Some of the dogs I've seen who's bottom teeth are too far forward get kind of a little bulldog look to them - it's cute but there's a big difference in the 2 bites. |
Yeah Mine Has Like A Bulldog Look Its Really Small, So Small In Fact The Vet Said He Couldnt Even Notice It, But I Was Just Wondering Thanks Guys |
