It IS possible for them to have good qualities as well as  serious faults, I 
agree. I also agree a talented breeder can  look at such an animal and perhaps 
use it well in their breeding  program.  A little luck thrown in doesn't hurt 
either.
 
But were talking about the show side of things. Would you want to look in  
the rear view mirror and know you had a hand in putting a CH in front of a 
dog's 
 name who had serious faults? Do you reward a dog because it is the "best"  
of a bad bunch???  To me that is the very definition of "lack of merit".  The 
question is rhetorical of course, but I wouldn't reward such a  dog.

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!
