    You are correct Jack! Slightly undershot dogs bite MUCH harder and they hold a hell of a lot better too! IWe were always told by our mentor, "Undershot is a gripper bite!" We mean, it's obvious, you do not want an extreme under bite, but an UNDER SCISSOR is preferred in our yard.

    I should have proofed before I posted. It should have said the "slightly overbite dogs do not get the scissor action" I left out the 'do not'. Moving too fast. EWO

    Most of the historically-hard mouthed dogs were slightly undershot: White Rock, Ch Spike, Boomerang, and I think Zebo, etc.

    Why the he$$ did you delete my link when I payed to use this forum.. If I could post pic on here I would have done so.. If I could post off my phone there would be no problem.. It's about the dogs not the forum, when there have been plenty links from peds used on here before mine
