Very interesting to me - thanks for posting it Mike. It must be said that I don't agree with all of it for example:

"You don't need strong, level teeth to catch things. An extreme overshot or undershot bite can still catch a hare. The only function that is involved here is the eating of the quarry after it is caught."

This i definitely contest - a scissor bite will help the dog get air into its mouth better adn therefore it will be able to last longer and recover faster in a course and so will catch more.
