If I remember correctly, didn't Woodside's Nestle Quik  have one ear tip gone? 
Gorgeous dog, and deservedly attained the 1991 GV.

I have some friends here in the area that had a male with not only ONE ear tip 
missing, but BOTH - they finished his CH quite easily in the AB rings finishing 
at quite a young age, and he went on to a very decent specials career in the AB 
ring as well - several BOB wins and many, many group 
placements - not one judge mentioned anything about his ear being missing - one 
thing that we kind of joked about was that the judge would remember the dog 
with the ear tip missing, which could sure work to your advantage in some 
cases.  I sure wouldn't let it interfere with giving it a really 
good run, that's for darned sure!!Gail Bauman Liebchen German Shepherds
