I have a large bone 4 month pup. At 10weeks his bite was ok all the way up to about a couple of weeks ago. He now has an overbite. Has anyone had a pup whose bite came back in line? I plan on putting him in Seiger shows, and AKC shows. Any input would be appreciated.

In my limited experience all puppies go through to a point of gawkiness in my breed we refer to as the ugly puppy stage. In most puppies their legs get long and unbalanced looking, and in some it also throws their bite off. In two dogs I've owned that it threw their bite off for a period of a couple months it was corrected by the time their puppy teeth fell out.
So be patient. Odds are your dog is fine if he had a good bite just a month ago.
I would have to wait for my husband to get home from Wisconsin to hold him to get a picture. I am hoping it is settled by 10 months as I will not show him if it has not improved. He is just so very nice, its a shame.
My mix breed puppy had an underbite when he had his puppy teeth. When his grown up teeth came in he now has a perfect scissor bite. So I guess you just can't tell with puppy teeth.
I never thought my pup would have a scissor bite, his mother is part Boxer and has like a 1/2 inch underbite. But he does
