If a Maltese puppy has an underbite, will her teeth stick out of her mouth when she's full grown?

I know that when flat faced puppies like Boxers, Shih-tzus and Lhasa-apsos have under bites, the teeth stick out of their mouth when the dog becomes full grown. I also know that when puppies with short, but not flat muzzles like Chihuahuas have under bites, when the dog becomes full grown you can only see the under bite when you open their mouth and inspect their teeth. My Maltese puppy looks like a normal Maltese, but when you closely inspect her teeth inside her mouth, you can see they aren't aligned perfectly. I know Malteses have muzzles about the same size as Chihuahuas, so if her teeth don't correct themselves and my puppy becomes full grown, will the under bite show outside her mouth, or will it be hidden and only show when you open her mouth and check the alignment of her teeth like the Chihuahua?

I have a Westie Poodle mix who had a slight underbite when she was a puppy. As a puppy you could not see her teeth, but as she got older the teeth did begin to show. At first I was a bit disappointed, however, now I wouldn't have her any other way. She's absolutely adorable and her little underbite gives her character and she always looks like she's smiling. I have learned to embrace the underbite.

Reply:your puppies bite will not change over time. what you see is what you get
Reply:If it has an underbite chances are it will be more pronounced as it gets bigger. I know it did with any dogs I have had anyway.





Chihuahua's if well bred should not have an underbite. I have 4 and all have perfect bite paterns.
