Can the overbite be corrected? - Page 1

I have a Male German Shepherd that I absolutely adore... We are training in Schutzhund, Tracking in two styles, Obedience, and had high expectations for showing... so we went out and purchased a female that we intend to do all of the above with also. The overbite that he has never corrected itself, and I have been told by a few other GSD owners that they can't remember the last time they have seen one so severe. He is now 15 months old, and it isn't going to correct itself, but is there a way to correct it so we could still have a chance in the show ring?

Oh, I also wanted to add that... I am a bit worried now about bitework in Schutzhund.... he loves it, but could I be hurting him?

It is against the rules, not to mention unethical, to alter anything about the natural structure of a German Shepherd Dog and then present that dog in the conformation ring.  That's not to say that there aren't people who will do it anyway, mind you, but that doesn't make it right. 

I'm sorry your male's bite did not correct itself as he matured and has remained overshot, but that shouldn't pose any problem for him on the trial or tracking fields, obedience trialing, agility or any other endeavor you pursue with him.  That bite will put him at the back of the line in the breed ring, wasting your entry fee money.  And even if you *could* correct the bite, that wouldn't change the genetics he's carrying...so any offspring from him would be at increased risk of having an incorrect bite as well. 

Enjoy him for his working abilities, and if your female develops correctly you can take a stab at the breed ring with her...but please don't breed the two of them unless you're trying to perpetuate the bad bite in the breed.

No nothing can be done, just enjoy you dog for what he is, NOT show or breeding material
