Certainly the fault will keep cropping up. HOwever, because on an overshot mouth, there is generally a little hole behind the top canines, you can certainly pull the baby lower canines in hopes that the jaw will unlock. If it doesn't then the adult canines need to either be "pulped" or pulled. I'm not really talking about breeding and showing an overshot mouth, I'm just wondering if they ever do come right. It certainly doesn't appear that hers is coming good, but even if we kept her as a pet, I would certainly get dental care for her. Myra
