is it normal for a silver aro's lower jaw to extend past its upper jaw? like a bulldog? i've never had a aro larger then 18", but mines lower jaw overlaps his upper jaw by almost is a1/4 inch. is this normal? looks pretty kool cuz his teeth are sticking out too. anyone out there with large aros have this condition? i've heard this is a possible indication of sexual orientation, but i don't know. any info would be greatly appericated.
 
Post a pic i want to see the bulldog look!!:D
 
I have heard that males have an over sized lower jaw for mouth brooding, but I'm not possitive. I'm sure someone with greater knowledge will chime in soon though:D
 
It is an overbite, which is basically just a deformity that happens. Kind of like drop-eye, it is just luck of the draw if you do, or don't get it.
 
See?? Told you someone smarter than me would chime in!! ;) :D
 
The 30" aro we lost at work yesterday had the same thing. The better to bite you with!:D
 
It's called PLJ or protruding lower jaw. There is no cure know although some profess that "pumping" the aro helps. It's a fairly common problem I would say even among Asian aros.
