Each case would have to be individually assessed and analyzed ... and so each case would be impossible to answer with precision w/o seeing the individual dog and really understand all that happened in its keep.

Certainly, "lack of rest" won't help any animal do anything, and I think alertness, strength, and speed would suffer most from this. I know when I am under-rested, that my reflexes & reaction times are way down ... as is everything else.

But lack of mouth can also come from being too light, etc.
