>>Would it be harder to finish the dog without alot of white between the eyes?? Any advice, personnal experiences, etc. would greatly be appreciated!!!
I don't think it matters how much white is there--what matters is how each judge perceives the whole head looks with the amount of white that is there. Markings DO create optical illusions and so can help a feature look better or worse. Of course there are also personal marking preferences which can differ considerably from judge to judge--preferences that may have no bearing on how they make the feature look. Even a tricolor with no white between the eyes can do somewhat well if it is an exceptional dog, but of course it will make it harder to win. I personally wouldn't get picky about how much white is between the eyes--way too many other things that are more important to me. I have to admit however--in the real world--an okay dog with exceptional markings will tend to do better in the ring than a very good dog with poor markings. It's just the way it is.
