Underbite

[Llion Edward Evans 15]

Never heard any quarry complain about and overshot or undershot jaw! If you go for it just dont breed out of him! Simple

I would left itin poland and take something clouse by whit good teeth.

 

maby your right but you cant find workers like these near by. i dont have to drive to poland myself for her it and the pup dont cost to much

 

 

can the dog have problems holding a fox because of her underbite? some people told me a dog with a underbite can bite harder?

Yes you can find them clouser and dont belief those dutch bulldog peoples

some great dogs would not of been born if dogs with bad mouths had'nt been bred, fact

[Bryan 1,362]

Had an undershot bitch, work till 11 years old. She was tightly bred down from Gould's Smithy, not breeding from good blood lines like that is how people lose what they had. It easily managed by outcrossing or breeding from related dogs that are not very tightly related.

 

Bred her 4 times, she never produced a "bad" mouth, her offspring never produced a bad mouth(3 generations away from that bitch without an undershot pup). But I was breeding from her to get workers as good as her so didn't see the risk.

That's just my experience I have no theoretical answer for you.

best terrier I ever owned had the worst looking mouth you ever saw but she was without doubt worth breeding from although I never did as I lost her at 6 I was going to breed her the following summer my biggest regret to date in dogs regards

i bet every one of our working dogs has an ancestor in its breeding somewhere with a bad mouth, sure we all like a smart n perfect looking terrier but proper "working" lines are getting harder to come by so turning one down because its mouth aint right seems silly to me. show ponies worry about bad mouths n other trivial faults, working dog men should accept it is what it is.

Let it go, bide your time and get one with a good bite,do not encourage these people to punt out defective pups.

 

True dogmen would do the right thing and PTS

[lawrence 657]

what can a correct bite do that an undershot one can't ?

unless its extreme , it shouldn't make a difference to a working dog, can remember someone in here saying" its only a correct bite upside down".

[unlacedgecko 1,466]

There is a difference between an undershot jaw and a reverse scissor bite.

YOU,LL KNOW WHEN HE BITES YA

[Pedwar 320]

Theres degrees of bad mouth/underbite, if its slightly out I wouldnt worry about it, if its got a mouth like a british bulldog I'd pass

[Cleanspade 3,322]

why take a dog that is showing an underbite as a pup. why not get a good work bred terrier without this fault. are quality bred working terriers getting that rare that you need to start with defected stock. i would also say that unless its bad it shouldnt effect its ability in any way what so ever. but if it is bad it could lose teeth a lot easier . i know there are plenty good dogs with faults. but surely there is enough sound stock about so that you can try to keep good quality animals and try to breed these faults out. not fix them in to your chosen breeds.

i have a russell x lakeland dog hes 9 with an undershot use to take stick about him off the boys i run with lol a lot of stick

haha but that was years ago dog is still working and he never had a problem holding his quarry , one hole every time and i would breed him today if i had a bitch couple of my mates had bitches but they never went the distance nor did any of my own been trying for years to get a bitch for him just hope i still have him when i do as it would be a real shame not to get a pup off him.
