The frustrating thing is that "show condition" ie obese has been a problem in showing for decades that I can think of. As has been said above, the entrenched ideas and lack of action from judges and some breed societies speaks volumes.
I would love a Saluki, I dont think we would be a suitable home though. I would like another Biscuit, another collie gsd cross like Sam, another GSD and a Parson Jack Russell. Then something like a Papillon, and a mini Jack Russell..various mongrels...you did say dream dog scenario didnt you ;)
