| i just bought a baby boy yorkie last friday (9 weeks old) and he has a very slight underbite, also have 3 yr old girl yorkie. As I live in England our registration process is different from the US and we dont have to register our dogs anywhere if they are just pets so the difference in his accrediation doesnt matter here. As long as they wear a named tag and or are microchipped, that is all, you dont need a dog license either which I think you do in US (?). Anyway, I digress, his underbite is very slight but it does make his lower jaw slightly more further forward, which is fine, he just looks a bit rounder faced. I have read that this defect can be passed on to any puppies so you would need to investigate that. Apparently as long as his bottom teeth dont damage his upper teeth or gums, which we wont know for sure until his adult teeth come in, there appears to be no problem. As one solution seems to be breaking and resetting his jaw, we'll live with what we got!!!! Cant believe someone could do that. Bit drastic!!! He certainly has no problem eating or chewing the house up (only been here 4 days too!) So from what I can see, unless the problem is severe then all should be OK. Only your vet can tell you for sure. Good luck, will post again on this when his big boy teeth appear (God help our shoes/slippers/socks etc!) |
