pink around nose/lower mouth

iam buying a fawn with white mask and she has pink around her nose and lower mouth,is this considered a flaw?will she lose this pink pigment as she grows? i also have a black mask fawn i can choose from but i like the flash on the white mask fawn better.

No, it's not a fault. As long as it isn't excessive (such as extending over one or both eyes) white on the muzzle/head is acceptable.

As she gets older, most likely her nose will turn completely black and she will get black spots on her lips; this is the case with 95% of the white or flashy boxers I have seen. A handful of them keep a tiny bit of pink somewhere on the nose. I have seen only one picture of an adult white boxer whose nose was mostly pink. Caney's muzzle was all pink when she was born; then when we took her home at 7.5 weeks, she had a few small spots on her nose that looked like a paw-print and now her nose is all black, and her lips are spotted.
