Nope not unethical at all.

Showing is a sport where you get the OPINION of the judge that day. Some judges give good and accurate assessments and others? Well lets just say I'm not sure when the last time they read the breed standard was

As a matter of fact I am a strong proponant in the establishment of a separate class for altered dogs as well. Same breed standard- minus the repro organs of course. Cats have altered Ch and intact Chs, horses also have intact and altered Chs (altered and intact NEVER compete against each other)

IF we had altered classes and Chs then no I would not agree with a HD+, SAS+ etc dog being shown in the regular classes and competing against breeding animals. But as it stands there is nothing wrong or unethical abut it at all
