Gayle Yes certain missing teeth are considered serious faults but If a judge refuses to consider an other wise lovely animal due to a missing tooth the judge has just become a fault judge- I seriously doubt we want our judges to eliminate animals for one missing tooth. If the animal with the missing tooth is not good quality he isn't going to win or place anyway. I for one would put up a dog I consider worthy of points with a missing tooth. I would not consider putting up what I consider a lesser quality with a full mouth sally ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
