Oh, Mr. Doc… 😔
Out of all the babies, this handsome boy got the short end of the stick.
At some point, most breeders will encounter an overbite. It’s one of those things that can show up even when you’ve done all the right things.
A puppy’s upper and lower jaws don’t always grow at the same rate. Sometimes the lower jaw catches up as they mature, and sometimes it doesn’t.
That’s why veterinarians and breeders often monitor a puppy’s bite over several months before determining what the long-term outlook may be.
In Doc’s case, his overbite is pretty significant, so we’ll be discussing a plan with our veterinarian during his 9-week wellness visit tomorrow. If his lower jaw doesn’t catch up as he grows, there may be future options to help keep him comfortable and prevent dental issues.
The good news?
👉 An overbite doesn’t affect his ability to be a happy, playful puppy. He’s still running, wrestling, causing mischief, stealing toys, and living his best puppy life. ❤️
Because of this, we’ve significantly reduced for the right family.
More importantly, we’re looking for a family who understands that sometimes the “less than perfect” puppies end up being the most perfect companions.
