him beeing so young, the fur can still grow over it. normally, the judges don't hold scars agains't a dog

Don't worry about it, mine have plenty. I expect the one on his nose will go anyway.

Scars should not influence a judge's decision at all. I knew a whippet bitch once who had a scar all the way along the side of her rib cage. She could still win Best in Groups.

A few years ago at an open show the bitch that went BOB still had stitches in her side were she'd ripped her side open on wire whilst rabbiting.
