lol I cant really answer I dont agree with showing, all my favorite breeds are working dogs and I hate to see them in the show ring. showing tends to breed for looks only not for ability, beardies?? a REAL beardie looks for like a wire coat border collie, then those long haired bouncy things in dog shows, a real beardie aint bouncie either. and border collies, in shows what you see is long fluffy coats short muzzles and little legs, a real border collie, never have fluffy hair, they have a long muzzle and long legs and a german sheperd I cant stand how angulated they are in the show ring, I am suprised they can even walk! sorry I will get off my soapbox about showing dogs now *blush*

but if I had to choose one it woul dbe a saluki
