Bordeaux puppy with white tip on tail

A question for Bordeaux breeders. I am currently looking for a female to possibly mate with my male in the future and as a companion for him. The puppy I'm looking at has a little bit of white at the tip of her tail, is this something I should avoid? I know a white tip as an adult is a fault. I don't plan to show her but the breeder said this white will shed out, is this true?

My girl Maizy had a white tip tail when she was about 3 weeks old but it is gone now. No need to avoid getting her because of it, especially if you aren't showing.

You need to be careful if you decide to get her. Even though you are not showing her, you do still plan on breeding her. This can be carried down in generations making it so that none of the pups she may have can ever be shown. The only white that is allowed (according to show regs) is just on her chest.

The few litters of DDB's I saw when looking for Beaux, there was white on many of tte pups, which sheds out rather quickly. I would nto be too concerned.
