MERIT  -- define this -- Webster's Dictionary gives us the following --
What is deserving; value; good quality; to have and justify a title to ----

The examples given in the question only mentioned structural faults.
Since this is all we had to go on, the withholding of a Win would seem
proper to me.    Nothing was mentioned concerning meritous errors.
Do you mean, as in disposition, behavior as such, since that's what I'd
base the meaning for "merit" in making a thorough judging call.  This,
"a thorough judging call" is something that cannot be done in this case
due to this lack.  JMHO    Norma no L

What I've found interesting about this thread is that it reveals who IS or
would strictly be a FAULT JUDGE.   They don't even wonder or concern
themselves with what VIRTUES or OUTSTANDING qualities these animals may also
have.  And yes, it is possible for a dog to have a combination of
outstanding qualities as well as faults, even serious ones.  The standard
specifies what the disqualfying faults are.  Withholding ribbons is intended
for LACK OF MERIT.

JMO!
