To me, getting your dog's tail docked and ears cropped is like getting plastic surgery for your child so they can compete in beauty pageants. I don't know how you can do that to an animal that is basically a family member. Maybe the owners just see them as show dogs and not pets.
The winning show dog should just be the best example of what that breed of dog looks like naturally. I don't know if I explained that right. Whatever the dog looks like without the surgeries, pick the best one of those as the winner.
