I have a bitch that just turned 2. She has full dentition and a scissor bite, but has one crooked tooth in the front. Will this prevent me from showing her? Thoughts please, no flames.
Our stud dog has one crooked front tooth from pulling on the chain link fence as a puppy... As we all know labs tend to do... We didn't want to show him and now that he is older he has been winning. I just tell the truth to the judges. Most of the time they don't even catch it. I know others that have a little crooked tooth and they are finishing. So no worries. Don't let it deture you. Just be honest with the judge :)
I have a youngster bitch that has a crooked inscissor which she broke when she was a puppy playing with rocks, and she's been shown and she's done very well at shows. We always have a veterinary certificate with us that states that this is from accident and not the way she was born. You can see that she has a normal scissor bite but one upper tooth is crooked or more less broken in half.
