It is NOT NECESSARILY correct, 1 or even 2 cm sometimes are "lost" because the dog is not in correct position and bending down.
The opposite can also happen: If you have a 58-59cm female, it is quite easy to make her become 61cm... I've seen it with my own eyes. It is not correct too, but it saves the dog from being disqualified from breeding (and It is a pity)

Sure - but if it is right? Was it really better to make the same in Pozna and ask Oskar "Please write Daimon A65 or A66 because it will look NICER and nobody will make any problems beause of it"? Of course Oskar would not make it for us
but as you wrote - in MANY cases it is made like this expacially in Czech Republic in order to "save the dog from being disqualified from breeding".
But when we will hide the size you know what will happen? An owner with the STANDARD male (65 cm on the papers but 64 in reality) will cover a STANDARD female (61 in papers and 58 in reality) and the new puppy owners will be SHOCKED how it is possible their puppy is only 55 cm....
It is REALLY better to write the
real data to the bonitation cards because when the data is faulsed (f.e. small dogs has been added some cm of height or very small dogs (much under minimum) are hidden by their owners so nobody can see they are much too small but people breed with them) than you have no improvement by the whole breed and sometimes breeders which really want to do their best and use only good dogs are cheated and unconscious use dogs with SERIOUS DISQUALIFYING FAULTS (because in many cases they have NO idea they use dog or buy a puppy from CzW which do not have for example the typical height).
