In the 18-years I've been in GSD's, both showing and breeding a few
litters, I've never had a dog with an overbite. I do now! I can stick my
pinky
in the gap.
He's 5-months old with "lots" of bone. I think he's going to be large and
if he continues "as is" I could finish him before he's a year old--very
nice puppy. I've spoken with a few breeder who say his lower jaw should
catch-up to his upper and not to worry. I'm guessing it won't ever be
perfect,
but I'm wondering if anyone has had experience showing a dog with this
problem. The standard doesn't really address this, other than stating that
the bite should be scissor. Would this be considered a fault, or would most
judges deem it a serious fault.
What are "your" thoughts/experiences??
