Puppy overbite

We just bought a puppy from a breeder. She told us the pup had an underbite that would likely correct itself. I have been researching it more and I am concerned about it. The canine teeth are in the right spot and she said the underbite is small. Do you think it will correct or will it get worse and be very obvious? The breeder is awesome and said I could return the puppy if I am uncomfortable. What do you think I should do?
The puppy is awesome otherwise!!! I am not breeding or showing her. She is a pet companion!
 
If the pup is otherwise awesome and isn't going to be bred, I'd say, don't worry about a small physical imperfection or two.
 
Underbite not overbite!

I accidentally titled the thread overbite instead of underbite! So the teeth should never show with the mouth closed if it is a slight underbite as an 8 week puppy?
 
Did her underbite get worse as she got older or did it stay the same? Can you see her bottom teeth with her mouth closed?
 
Emma? It stayed the same. Some of the underbotes do correct. I can see her teeth with her mouth closed. Unfortunately, due to decay she has lost four of the canine (bottom front). It hasn't bothered her in the least - no problems eating etc.
 
Shelby has an underbite and it does not bother her at all. I actually think she looks cute when she looks up at me with those teeth sticking out. I try to keep her teeth clean but I fully expect that she will eventually need to have some of her bottom teeth pulled.
 
My girl has an underbite as well. She's had it since she was a puppy. It hasn't gotten worse (or better) since then. It isn't extreme, and her lips still cover her teeth.
