puppy

Just been to see a litter of puppies, all paper work is in order and pups look in good health, the one we've taken a shine to has half its ear missing, the mother whilst giving birth apparently snapped at this pup and damaged the ear. The pup shows no sign of being affected and has a very good nature, does anyone have any reservations or advice about aquiring this pup? we are able to give this dog a good home and my son intends to train the pup into a working dog so from this aspect the missing ear is less of a concern, if anyone has any opinions please reply.
Many thanks.

HI
When you say paperwork is in order, does that mean you have seen the hip scores of both parents clear eye certs. and pref. Elbows 0 0 Parents hip scores need to be below breed average.wgich at the moment is 16 total. If one parent is as high as this, I would like to see the other parent much lower. Good luck.. Regards Meg
