Oh, Nancy, I never heard of the long back, short legs problem. What do you do? Is that the kind of problem that you can breed out or is it a wild genetic factor thing that is not predictable?

I was reading on someones website about a problem in AM's that concerns an underbite. It is rare but is one of those wild gene factors that can not be predicted.

If a pup is born with the back./eg problem, is it fixable? Or does the dog suffer from bone issues all its life? It makes me sad to think of it.

I dont claim to breed mini well not labradoodles or goldendoodles,
Aussiedoodle yes i breed toy, mini mediums

avg size of our gdoodles and ldoodles is 22" or less,
if i predict a smaller size i advise people in advance i guarantee nothing,,especially with the l'doodles and g'doodles
These are hybrids no way to predict

Long back short legs come from breeders that artifical inseminate a toy or mini poodle with a larger dog
I dont do that ,,and wont ever do that,if god intends it to happen it will happen naturally
do read our sizes page it will help you understand what i mean

AH! That makes sense. My mother in law had a pet sitting service in LA and one of her clients was a German Shepherd/ Corgi mix. That poor dog was huge with short little legs. She had all sorts of back problems.

Your website is chock full of great info. Thanks!

I know this is totally off topic from the aussiedoodle who needs a home...but an underbite was mentioned earlier in this thread. When we took Dex for his initial puppy check-up I was told he had a slight underbite...it never has been an issue since. However I am curious...what would cause an underbite? Our current vet never even noticed it so I don't know if he possibly outgrew it?

Overbites and Underbites pups are born with normally
like kids that need braces LOL

they do normally outgrow them though the Jaw most of the time goes into place as they mature
