Should I be concerned buying a mini poodle puppy with an underbite?

Question

Curious about if I should be concerned with buying a puppy with an underbite. It’s a mini poodle. Thank you in advance.

If the underbite is mild, most pets live with not issues due to the abnormality (there are some breeds where an underbite is actually standard to the breed, such as a bulldog). If the underbite is more severe it may cause problems and if you had plans for breeding the dog it would not be advised with this abnormality.
