At what age does a slight overbite become a worry in a gsd pup, or is it
something to worry about now. The pup is 13 weeks old.
Thanks in advance for any responses, Mike
I wouldn't worry yet. It's not uncommon for the upper jaw to grow first and
the lower jaw to catch up, say by 6-7 months. I went thru that w/ the last
litter; they went a little over at 4 months and then the bottom jaw "caught
up" by 6 months and now they're all perfect, but BOY I did some fretting
(!!!!!). If I saw that w/ the same combo again, I might not worry AS
much...I'd
probably only check 2x a day instead of 10, lol!
Your best source for what is a normal growth "thing" and/or something to
worry about would be folks familiar w/ a particular line...
