So if you have to cover up faults just to win, that's not right and doesn't prove anything about the dog. Enhancing colors happens in the cat show world too.

Yes I agree coloring is wrong and cheating! But with that said, I'd rather go up against a dyed dog any day than a obivious "black" soft coated dog AND a dog with health issues or an obivious crippled rear, bad front, any day! When I see a dog that's so obivious that's crippled in the rear and bad top line win over a dyed dog then there is something wrong in my humble opinion! While coloring is wrong at least it's not a structural fault or a health fault as a bad rear which it far worse than just a lighter coat that was enhanced. JMHO
