It's definitely an overbite. Both bottom canines are behind the top ones, and one of them is slightly angled to the centre of the mouth. It is fairly pronounced, and the dentist seemed to be confident that it was highly unlikely to self correct. Just to clarify the dog is 11 weeks old currently. For us, swapping for a new puppy is not an option, we are very attached. We will cope with the cost if it comes to it I guess I was hoping to get a small amount of assistance from the breeder is all. If it comes down to it we will deal with it on our own though. Thanks all for the replies, I will contact the breeder and see what they have to say.

Hi all, Not sure if this is the right spot for this, but we got a lovely little 8wk old puppy from a breeder registered on DogzOnline about 3 weeks ago. When we took him to the vet for his 10 week shots, she informed us he has a pretty severe overbite and needed to see a vetinary dentist. When we took him to the dentist we were told that his teeth will not self correct and he will likely need some sort of work done to his teeth when his adult canines come in. We love our new boy and we're happy to do whatever needs to be done, but I am fairly annoyed that the breeder didn't mention this issue to us and charged us the full rate ($2k!) for a dog that he surely knew had an issue that would require costly attention. I am wondering if there is anything I can do to perhaps get a partial refund of some of the money to help with our expenses here or if I am left in the lurch. Does anyone have any similar experiences? Thanks in advance for your help.
