Teeth

At maturity (after the third year teeth have erupted) the teeth of the upper jaw should meet evenly with the teeth of the lower jaw � not overshot (�Parrot Mouth�) or undershot (�Monkey Mouth�). Up to a 1/4� variation from an even bite (extreme limit) is accepted for registration into the Miniature Donkey Registry.

Rationale:

A good bite is important for grazing, chewing, digestion, nutrition and ultimately longevity.
