Speaking for myself, the "tipped" ear would not bother me....nor do I think it
would bother any other breeder judges.
That said, there might be some All Breed judges that may not care for it,
especially
in a special. I have seen several class dogs with missing ear parts go on to
finish
but I have never seen one specialed.
But....if my memory serves me correctly (Peggy and Helen would probably
remember)
there was a Siberian Champion that won Westminster with a damaged ear....so, it
is difficult to say. If he shows as well as you say, then go for and see what
happens. -Kay Reamensnyder and Betty Doerpinghaus -Home of Bedkar German
