The pup i had in litter had his nose mixed up as well and done what I thought needed done. 

If it grows and doesn't work out it'll be harder to put down. Especially if you have kids about. 

My kids would want to keep it and would be uset

Do you think if a bitch has a litter with a cleft palate do you think it'll happen again ? To the same bitch or is it just soda law ?

Personally i never bred off that bitch again.

The bitch has been spayed now, 9 year old anyway hopefully it’s not the dog I have here which throws the cleft palate but in your case did you use the same stud dog on another bitch and we’re they ok

The dog had served several bitch`s all with no issues, But i know that a litter of pups came out of one of the bitches from that litter a good few years later and they were fine.

Thanks mate and I’ve been looking online it isn’t the nose aswell so hopefully it isn’t as bad as might seem just depends on if it can do what a normal dog will be able to do once old enough

That's a tough call and it's obvious you care a lot about this. I can't help with this but if you get positive feedback about health prospects and keep it I'm sure it will work out. About 20 years ago I kept a collie x bitch with an undershot jaw, I was apprehensive but she was a great dog
