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
