I could not keep a dog out of the ring if the only 'real' fault was a missing tooth. If the dog can move, bite, and has really good structure, I would show, and advise any handlers of the missing tooth so they could be sure we do not enter under 'tooth fairy's' who would drop a dog for a missing tooth. Movement does come first in our breed. sheila MAJTEACH@xxxxxxx wrote: From the standard: "An overshot jaw or a level bite is undesirable. An undershot jaw is a disqualifying fault." I am also on the side of a missing tooth. One handler told me that French manicures are perfect for a missing tooth. lol Just make sure the judge is not a dentist. :) Personally, my mentors does not show dogs with missing teeth and I always try to follow their advice.
