Lacking a definate eyebrow

So Merf was born quite dark and as she has grown her facial markings have become more defined but one eyebrow is still very light!
Her breeder assured me it would come through but so far it hasn't changed much so she told me i would be penalised heavily when showing her and to wait and see if it comes through.
Most people at the ringcraft don't notice its missing until i point it out and have said its only one fault so do you think it would be worth me continuing with ringcraft and showing or should i do something else with her instead?

Only been to ringcraft a few times as they were not too helpful re stacking etc(told me to do a search on youtube) but have found a new one that im trying on thursday.
P.s Merf will be 6 months on 27 feb.

Couple of pictures

You could always try it and see how she does. After all a fault is only judged on how serious the judge views it in relation to the whole dog, if you get what I mean, and if she's a good Dobe, she might get away with it!

Thats what i was hoping for that she might make up for it in other areas

Lovely shiny coat.
Shes lovely, go for it, judges seem to be funny creatures and Im sure some of them wont find an eyebrow to big a deal in the great big scheme of things anyways
You can do other things with her as well as showing if you want anyways

She is stunning! I'm not a dobie expert, but I would say go ahead and see how she does. As faults go, I would say it's a minor one. She's structurally stunning!

If you want to have a go at showing, and you and Merf enjoy it then show her.... She's almost 6 months old, so get some open show catalogues and get her entered

Yes it is a fault, but it's not that bad a fault .
It says in the breed standard that white markings are not desirable, yet i've seen Dobes being placed first with loads of white on their chests!
It's all down to the judge on the day

With regards to your ringcraft, the first one sounded crap
I hope the second one is better for you , A decent ringcraft can be great to help you learn how to show and handle

id give it a go. if shes nearly 6 months, get her in some minor puppy classes

like other people have said its only one fault, and its not a seriously bad fault, and it all depends on the judge.. so id give it a go
