AKC STANDARD:

Bite -A Pug's bite should be slightly undershot

Clarification: An overbite distorts the expression and sometimes gives a lippy , weak look. Too much underbite gives the face an uptilt. a lolling or peeking tongue is evidence of malocclusion (wry mouth) and should be penalized. Ideally, evenly spaced incissors insure proper breadth of chin and muzzle; a careful look at the teeth is not important unless the expression is in question. We suggest that the bite be the last part of the table examination. It is easiest to check the bite by gently lifting the lip to the side of center-or ask the exhibitor to show the bite.

Very undesirable:Teeth showing; wry mouth; lolling or peeking tongue.
