By non-altered they mean not spayed or neutered. Mutilating dogs by cutting off their ears and/or tails/dew claws and "show cut nails" is the norm with show dogs.
I know with great danes (and I'm sure other breeds) people actually believe that cutting off half of the dog's ear then subjecting it to months of painful taping of the cut ears into an erect position to "train" the cartilage is thought to give the dog a more noble head structure.
I owned 2 great danes (still have one) and neither of them ever suffered cosmetic surgery for my vainity. It's a barbaric practice.
