What causes an overbite in rottweiler puppies?

Answer by  katharine (3981)

An overbite shouldn't be anything to worry about, as long as it isn't too severe. Numerous breeds are prone to overbites, they're more a slight "deformity" or "imperfection" than anything else. An overbite shouldn't effect anything about the dog, they usually just look a little bit different than dogs without overbites.

An overbite in a Rottweiler puppy is not something to worry about. If you plan on showing your dog in the future you would want to get the overbite corrected. A vet may recommend to correct an overbite by pulling the two lower baby canines while the jaw continues to grow.

An overbite may indicate bad breeding. Do not buy if the parents eyes and hips were not certified by vet. Otherwise a mild overbite will not affect daily life.

Overbites in all dogs can be a genetic trait that is inherited from the pup's parents. The second reason could be from the Puppy pulling on objects with great force at a young age before the teeth are permanantly set in the dogs mouth.

Some puppies upper and lower jaws grow at different rates. This could just be a phase, or it could be permanent, depending on the age of your puppy. Many overbites in rotties correct by a year old. Be patient, don't panic.
