This will possibly be turning out to a scissor bite. Bite issues can be genetic - so it good to know if these occur in the lines. Even a tight scissor bite is a scissor bite. Some judges may penalize it. Bites can change up until they are almost 2yr.
Serious faults in AKC are are level bite or one missing tooth. Level bite also serious fault in FCI shows.
Disqualifications: Overshot/overbite, undershot/underbite, wry mouth, two or more missing teeth (AKC), any missing teeth (CanKC, & FCI shows)
