happy new year ppl,
i have a female pup whose front teeth on the mandible are of unequal sizes, specifically the two in the middle. shes turning seven months this month and im just wondering is their any chance that the two in the middle would catch up with the other teeth. the bite is alright "scissor bite" except for the two in the middle. the parents bite are ok, so im at lost how come she came out with this kind of problem.

Deng, I don't think they will be an issue, as long as they are present and healthy. The incisors are seldom perfect for any dog, for even if they are the same in height they are often misaligned a bit. So; which condition is worse?
The scissor fit of the canines is most critical, and of course the mating of the teeth in the event the snout is slightly overshot..
This is a puppy who is still growing, so who knows? This may correct itself a bit as her lower jaw grows a bit wider and longer. But even if it doesn't, as long as the teeth are healthy I would not be very concerned.
