I especially took a look at Briards standard and it is more strict than that of CzW. It's openly written that going below minimum is disqulification. In CzW standard there is no such sentence. It's just some people's interpretation - stop people overinterpret the stanrdard and don't say things that are not included in it. Going below minimum is a fault - TRUE. Going below minimum is disqualification - THAT IS OVER-INTERPRETING. No such sentence exists in the breed standard. Just that it is a fault since the standard says it's below minimum. If you want it to be strict change the standard. An example from Briards standard: "
Code:
  
SIZE: 0,62 m to 0,68 m for males.
0.56 m to 0,64 m for females.
The length of the body must be more important than the height at shoulders.  The general appearance of the Briard is rangy.
Penalization: Cobby dog : no Excellent.  Sizes superior to 0,68 m and 0,64 m.
Disqualification: Below the minimum.  More than 2 cm above the maximum size.
Nice and clear but... this is a quote from Briard standard.
