Oh hell, you can use my name:) Suggest she removes her jewelry and drives an old beater car to her NEW VET! How crazy is that???? In all seriousness, puppies are supposed to have a slight overbite because their bottom jaw grows more slowly than their top jaw. A puppy with a "tight" bite will be level at maturity, which is undesirable.

She had her 2nd series of shots today and during the exam the vet noticed she had a slight overbite. She stated that she could go to a canine dentist and have the lower teeth extracted and that would correct the overbite. It is very slight and I don't see a need. I absolutely defer to you and your knowledge. I did want to let you know about it. ++++++++++++ ugh. thank you for your reply. susan Sander-Haus German Shepherd Dogs www.Sander-Haus.com Members of GSDCA, WDA, SV of Germany Selectively breeding, not mass producing! ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
