Dawn, it's not always covering up faults. A lot of grooming is
done to make what's really there easier for the judge to see. I
have a dog with a wave in his coat immediately behind the
withers, and a cowlick at the base of the tale. At a glance, it
makes him look like he has a dip in the back and a poor
tailset. If I strip out some undercoat in those places so the
hair lays flat, his excellent topline and tailset are easy to see.
We have all day to evaluate our own dogs and know what's
really there, but if a judge's initial glance makes it look like
something is wrong, he or she may not look again.
BTW - I don't enhance color or trim hairs. Even if I wanted
to, I wouldn't know how, LOL!

A shame that people (A FEW), have to WIN at all costs.
Having the dog win on its own merit, what happened to
that?
It makes you wonder what else is being COVERED UP.
