Yea I get that, and yes- that much over is a fault. My point is its not exactly good if a dog who is too small to behave like a dog with knees it can barely walk on would win in the ring over a dog with pretty darned good over all conformation to the standard but is over sized. How is size more of a factor than health? That's the bit that gets me.
