I do suppose I'll have to disagree then.  If a dog had full dentition, and a 
tooth/teeth were lost due to decay/accident why should the dog be penalized 
for it, if one can prove it was there, and was not lost due to genetics?
Obviously, it will depend on the dog, the day, and the judge that is looking 
at the class, but if there is a legitimate reason for the tooth to be gone and 
it is NOT because of genetics, why shouldn't the judge be allowed to consider 
the letter/picture/documentation?

Technically speaking, it is not a fault if the dog did not lose the tooth 
because of genetic reasons.
