Altered classes WERE offered and there was a thing to do a CH and stuff. What happened? NO ONE BOTHERED TO SHOW. Done killed it deader than a doornail.
The original purpose of the dog show was to determine & promote quality breeding stock.

Greyhounds have crappy teeth genetically. He had 17 removed almost a year ago. So we're running low on chompers.

Is there a reason for it? Like a specific reason as to why they lose their teeth young?

As previously mentioned the whole purpose of conformation is to decide which dogs are the best for breeding, so why would you be showing an altered dog? For the fun of handling a dog in the show ring? Striving for a CH in front of your dogs name? If you want a champion show them before you alter them. For the People who are serious about showing/breeding and are trying to improve the breed , the thought of allowing an altered dog to show seems kinda silly, not to mention how class sizes could potentially be HUGE and filled with exhibitors who are not taking the ring serious.
I'm not trying to offend anyone this is just my opinion, and thoughts, and i hope its not an insult to anybody...
Besides... conformation is the most BORING of all LOL Obedience, weight pulling, tracking, agility- those classes are MUCH more fun, and your dog can be altered!
I have to wonder...are the placings being given to the very best of the breed or whomever shows up?
I understand why you would want to show the world that you think you have the best dog, that is closest to the breed standard, but i really don't see anychanges in entry comming soon, as it simply defeats the purpose of a dog show. To determine breeding stock.

I always find it interesting that those with fertile dogs are so adamantly opposed to altered dogs competing side by side. If they are truly only showing the very best of their breed and truly only want to CH the very best of the breed - then there shouldn't be a problem...if there's a problem, I have to wonder...are the placings being given to the very best of the breed or whomever shows up?
That is the reason why in like AKC in order to CH a dog he has to be able to take a win in a class over a certain number of dogs and win a MAJOR which is 3 4 or 5 points. No matter how many points a dog accumulates he will not become a CH unless he also wins 2 shows getting MAJOR points.
The reason is simple, to prove that your dog can win over what would be considered a BIG class entry proving that he is the best dog..
I would be curious to know if the supporters of allowing unaltered dogs in the show ring have ever shown before?
