May not improve anything, but still, will will not harm it. I dog with dragging hocks can harm the breed. A dog with flapping ears can harm the breed. Any serious structural fault can harm the breed. Remember, a dog show started as a comparison of breeding stock. Should one be breeding to a dog with a serious structure fault? These are questions judges have in their minds.
