If a show dog is running for the gait and not paying attention to its
handler, wouldn't that indicate a possible temperament/anxiety problem?

Nah...there's a difference in a dog runnin' scared and one who is clamoring
to get to their double handler. In the specialty ring, if you only have one
person doubling and "mom or dad" is often right by the gate ringing bells or
blowing a whistle. Judges know that. If they follow/track the dog all the way
around on the individual, as the dog starts off, they get another view of
the dog going away, up the side of the ring, if there aren't a number of
doublers, they'll see the dog on a somewhat loose lead and get to see if they
fall
apart, if their loin is loose, back wobbly, if they are locked and/or lifty,
then once they turn the corner toward the (out)gate their ass end drops,
there is usually enough "umph" that a handler can camouflage back issues and
it's
hell bent for leather.
