Wondering about your thoughts on a dog with an underbite in terms of breeding?

Depends what you want it for.. for me if it works the way I wanted it to and it had the right blood behind it then I'd breed.

Was thinking the same. It's just i have this bitch russell x lakeland that was got as a family pet and she's bolted a few out on walks, but not sure if she's up to the grade as i wouldn't know what to be looking for in a proper working dog.

not that by the sounds of it if its a proper terrier your looking then source good sound breeding from a good working line stay well clear dirt usually. Breed dirt

If there’s a physical fault in a line of dogs that you don’t know about then you can be fore given for breeding from it but if you knowingly perpetuate a physical fault then that’s just daft, just buy a decent dog in the first place.

Do you mean if you had an outstanding bitch with an underbite you wouldn’t bred from her?

[milliken 829]

personally if it was me and the bitch was outstanding and not a middle of the road bitch then I would breed of her as with the right selective breed the under shot can be fixed

About 4 seasons of hard graft without fault and find out if her litter siblings are working and her parents grandparents etc then search for a suitable stud with same blood line if possible.seems like a lot of trouble to go through just to breed a litter but if everyone done the same the country would not be full of white terriers.jmho.

No ,it’s not an outstanding  bitch, I was replying to jrt90 who by the sounds of it is going to breed some pups for the sake of it knowing full well it’s got a bad mouth.
