Please check out my pup - Page 3

I agree he has an overbite, HOWEVER, it may very well not look nearly that bad when he's done teething. The lower jaw is often the last thing to stop growing, so some improvement can be expected. 

I would never sell that pup as show quality IF it looked like that at 6 weeks or so (the time I check all puppies' bites), but I also would not write it off just yet. 

I agree with Jenni.

Overbites often correct themselves--to some extent. The lower jaw grows at a different rate than the top jaw and an overbite of 2-4 milllimeters at 8 weeks will almost always be a correct bite at adulthood. In this case, the overbite is probablly more like 5-6 millimeters? So it may or may not correct completely.

The gums themselves look fairly typical for a puppy at that age with the adult teeth starting to come in.

Do watch and check the canines as they start to come in. Sometimes the bottom canines will help correct the bite by "hooking" on the upper canines. Other times the baby teeth will not fall out and will cause the bottom teeth to point inward too much and they will hit into the roof of the mouth. Do your best to get her baby canines to fall out naturally when those adult canines start coming in (bones, chew toys, gentle tugging games, etc.).

IMO large overbite and I would be nervous about it to if it were my pup.

here is a picture of my 20 week old pup he has a minor overbite but it seems to be correcting its self what i see in that pup looks alittle bit major my guy just has a very tiny one.

IMO...a slight overbite has a better than 50/50 chance to correct.....although, even slight over-bites sometimes do not correct themselves.
The picture is not just a "slight overbite"....it is a major "over-bite".
Yes...puppies upper and lower jaws grow at different rates.....but an over-bite that extreme usually requires dental intervention....
No....I would not expect the bite to "correct itself"....it may get slightly better, but I doubt that it will be a correct bite in the end.
Work with the breeder.....he/she should be given the opportunity to rectify the situation.
Good luck & best wishes.

What I see here is, yes, a large overbite that may or may not correct it self as the lower jaw continues to grow BUT if you look at the canines they still fit in the correct place and they are not sticking into the upper palate as I have seen in a puppy with a similar overbite.
The lower jaw will continue to grow and develop for quite a few months yet so I would wait until he is finished teething and I hope for your sake that it will improve with time.

I think your opinion is spot on Robin, and that is my opinion.
I hope the breeder does do something to rectify this. 
They tell you to wait and wait, things will change, banking on the fact that you will grow attached to the dog or just let the issues slide.  Meanwhile you are spending time and money on a dog that will never be what they said it was when they sold it to you ( for big bucks in this case).

Sean168,

Like I said, your picture you have posted was what my dog Oeht had for a bite at that age, and it has corrected itself.

I was just as worried as you are about the overbite my pup Oeht had, that is what I am talking about, the jaw is still growing.

I breed shepherd's, mine are all sold as pets/companions, I feel I can not guarantee how a pup will turn out.

I feel that many dog owners that spend a lot on their pup expect to see an outstanding pup immediately, but sometimes that just takes time, each pup will grow & mature at a different rate.

   Good luck and be patient, time will tell, I think he'll turn out perfect!

Seems like you got enough opinions on this, but here's one more

The breeder should definately replace the puppy right now. If they were smart enough "showline quality" they would've noticed this overbite before sending the puppy to you. Any reputable breeder looks in the puppy's the mouth/gums/teeth before shipping them over. That's not a little itty bit overbite either.
If you're not happy with the quality at any moment, the breeder should take it back and make arrangements for another pup. Like someone else said, why waste time with getting attached hoping for things to change.
