I took Dear Charlie to the vets and she told me he had a slightly overshot jaw.... does thiws mean I won't be able to Show him? I don't mind but just wanted to know if this is the case?

I'm guessing your puppy is still very youg - in which case it might correct itself. If it doesnt, you could show him but he would be penalised for it. He shoudln;t be used for breeding purposes with this type of fault.

They do often correct but it won't affect him being a happy healthy dog.

Hi there  

I know abs nothing about showing so cant aid you on that, but if it is any consolation my terrier Poppie who I no longer have had a slight undershot jaw when she was a pup and it corrected itself as she grew and developed. Your wee ones might too

Hi

My mum's Cavalier Katy had an overshot jaw.

She was the best dog in the world!

My pup Dave had a slightly different problem in that his lower jaw was too narrow and one of his puppy lower canines was growing into the roof of his mouth  BUT it's sorted it's self out, his jaw has grown bigger and both adult lower canines now sit nicely outside his upper jaw..

Hope your pup sorts himself out too
