Gotta agree with Mary. My comment is they don't move on their ears. Bob Neiman / Walled Lake, Mich.

Most of us would have guessed what had happened. That ear tip does not change his structure or his character.

We were waiting for him to mature before we really put him out there to special. This fall in a small show he really showed great, nice attitude, in fact best showing since he was a puppy. OK, we think he is ready to go back out. Now one of his best points is his head. Truly great male head and ear set, no mistaking this boy for a bitch ever. Two weeks ago, while we were gone, the kennel help let some fence fighting occur. During the fence fight the boy lost the tip of his left ear. I mean gone. About a quarter inch. To you judges out there, how big a problem is this? Would it affect your opinion?
