hey, I know I could never have a perfect showdog, but heck, what's wrong with dreaming anyway?? My dog has a great herding instinct even though he's never been trained...he's been herding our family members since he was 7 weeks old, lol!! I know what you mean by a "perfect show dog" though--I know I've never seen one, nor will I ever get one for that matter, still, I like to think about it!
