Dog With Scars On Muzzle. No it is not counted against them in the conformation ring as it does not affect conformation and would not be passed to pups (conformation is after all evaluation of potential breeding stock). The rubber ring was so tightly wrapped the tiny dog had deep, bloody scars.
This is soft, smooth and comfortable. If a particular product is recommended to you for your dog pet and you find out the dog always sustains a scar whenever the muzzle is put on, that means it isn’t comfortable for your dog. One of my bull terrier girls has a maze of nicks and scratches on her face and i'm concerned due to the short amount of fur on the muzzle she will scar horribly and look like she's been through the wars.
