Thank you for all the discussion -- I am just very excited about my first breeding and Gabby is a wonderfully structured puppy. Nice, almost heavy boned, yet femine six month girl. I miss the ring and I can't wait to get back. I realize that she is young, and I too feel that Cavaliers take longer to close the growth plates. I see that with the development of the puppies.
Referring back to the standards, the CKCS USA seems a little more forgiving for the bite that is undershot. My interest, in AKC is to finish her in Bred By, but at this point, I must be patient. It just may correct itself. SO I find it interesting that many state that it is easier in AKC to finish with an undershot. My thought was as a judge, I would avoid the dog with the bad bite as well, but then the rest is so exceptional! ECK~ When I review the CKCS Bulletin, many reviews are commented about poor bites. I have found that it takes about 18 months for the head to be completely developed.
