I don't consider soft pasterns in a growing puppy to be any more serious 
than their ears going up and down during teething.  Is it preferred? - No. 
Is it common? - yes.   Certainly I've heard the stories of the RARE puppy 
who's pasterns never come up, just like the rare pup who's ears never come 
up.  It's the exception and not the rule.  I suspect in those cases they 
continued to over supplement or otherwise mismanage their nutrition.

Inform your buyers in advance of the 'potential' and even include example 
photos of a pup who was soft but matured with perfect pasterns and you'll 
nip the "sky is falling" veternarians in the bud.
