I just came across a discussion about this video on a German Working Dog forum (www.schaeferhund.net). The participants are saying this particular dog can’t hold its grip 9 out of 10 times. This kind of acrobatics are apparently the rule for this dog and it has had multiple injuries due to it.

Sounds like a BIG training problem. The bite foundation was not done right or not done at all. As a puppy this dog should have learned how to grip and counter the grip. If it is done right this does not happen. Ed has a few vids on this very thing. For the new Schutzhund handler/trainer you can see now why the basics are so important.
When people get scared they call the police..When the police get scared they call K-9!
I would find it hard to imagine it was a tooth loss that made him slip, as he reenters confidently afterwards.
I agree with Mike, it wouldn't surprise me if the dog lost a tooth. I just retired my female because of an injury like this. Unfortunately we don't have it on video so I can only make an educated guess at what happened, but I think the initial damage was done on impact, then the rest was done as she slipped off. However, she shattered the part of her jaw that makes the socket for the canine (impact?), then ripped the entire canine out, root and all (when she slipped off?). It was hanging horizontally in her mouth by just some gum tissue in her mouth. She hit the ground though and launched right back into the decoy for the bite. We didn't even realize she was injured until we saw all the blood.
Due to the damage to the jaw bone and tooth socket they were unable to try to reseat the canine and had to do surgery to remove it and all the bone fragments.
It's amazing what drive, tenacity and heart will allow these dogs to do sometimes.
