PitNest New Member Posts: 7 From:Austin ,Texas, USA Registered: Nov 2003	posted 11-23-2003 03:12 PM I was looking over the site http://www.apbtconformation.com/faults.htm and I was reading about certain things considered "faults" in come Pits and I'm confused when it comes to the teeth. It seems that "level" teeth are a fault, an "underbite" is a fault and so is an "overbite". ?? Ok so whats not a fault. Im confused...

Pitbulls ideally should have a scissor bite which means that their top and bottom teeth should clamp down tightly and in line with each other, both jaws should be in line and not pushed in or stuck out as in "undershot" and "overshot". My own females bottom jaw slightly overlaps her top one, I think thats from the boxer in her. So she has got an "overshot" bottom jaw. I hope that makes sense! IP: Logged

My female has an undershot top jaw. An "overshot" jaw is the top jaw sticking out over the bottom one, sort of like goofy I guess! IP: Logged
