Undershot

[Wales1234 5,513]

Besides the fact the pups not gone win many shows is a pup being under shot a problem?

Theres been some good undershot dogs. Better than being overshot.

Undershot over shot don't make a difference,if it's got the heart the job will get done.my best dog was undershot and never threw it on any of his pups.just don't breed two together with bad mouths cause then you may get a few more.atb dc

I don't think that bulldogs were selectively bred to be undershot, more likely used an excuse when the fancy started to inbreed to and produce freakish animals long after bull baiting had passed. No need to breed from a working terrier these days with an undershot mouth. Not a reason not to work him though .

why would you not breed from an undershot dog if it was a great worker. Only reason i can see is for the show ring.

Why start breeding bad mouth dogs when they have just stated about the Bulldogs.i wouldn't breed of a bad mouth dog and don't care how good he is,but when it comes to breed from his off Spring that's when the chances is high in throwing more out with bad mouths as it will and does happen and not just for the show ring either before this gets jumped on.you put a dog to a bitch with a bad mouth there might not be 1 pup in that litter with a bad mouth but when you breed from them pups you could end up with a full litter of bad mouths which is what nobody will want so why rust it just to end up stuck with a litter or culled because nobody will take one as its a breeding fault which you don't want to be putting into your dogs.

That may apply for people into show dogs but personally if they were bred from good sound working stock id take my chances undershot or not who cares wants they stay.

why is undershot a bad mouth? If you breed for work and it doesnt effect its work whats the problem? Its asthetics, which isnt taken into account when breeding workers, i hope.
