Sorry but you are wrong. That is exactly what any breed standard for any purebred is for. It not only disqualifies them from the show ring, it also means it should not be bred which would be perpetuating a disqualifying aspect for that breed. I find it rather curious that reasons for a breed standard don't seem to be understood, seems pretty obvious to me.
The reason for breeding any purebred regardless of the breed, is to produce puppies towards the breed standard hopefully to improve what the breeder currently has.
