I doubt very seriously the weight of shaved hair would be any real difference in two GrCh Bucks with identical keeps at the identical weight. The winner would be the one smart enough to pick up before the two identical dogs killed one another.

The shaved hair make a difference in a forfeit call if using digital skills. That is all I see.

When two dogs are within a pound or so of one another there is no rule that the heavier one is the bigger dog, just the heavier dog. Many a time dogs have pushed weight yet been the bigger dog. Sometimes pushing weight is not as big a deal as it is made out to be. Don't get me wrong I'm not for giving weight but I have seen the 'bigger' dog whoop the 'heavier' dog based on size and leverage, and most of the time just being the better dog.
