I hate to say it like this, but the poor little guy will probably never be a show dog, unless the scars in his face heal.
I think he's adorable, though, and that's all that matters!
I might just let them go and see if they fall out and regrow better on their own. I'm in no rush, and I wouldn't want to make him uncomfortable. I wasn't really sure if whiskers would fall out on their own. My other dog (a 12 year old Chihuahua mix) has long, firm whiskers, and to my knowledge they've never fallen out.
I'm really more concerned about the scarring on his face, really. The more you look at him, the more you can tell. When I first got him, my few friends didn't want to touch him for fear of him having something contagious (he didn't, they were just being overly cautious), and I really don't want him to have that look for the rest of his life!
