I think it depends on how much better that dogs it then the rest. Attitude is part of a show dog but it should not be the end all to beat all. There are lots of dogs with great show attitude that really don't have much else to offer. If there are 4 top quality dogs, I would certainly take attitude into consideration. Only the judge can make that decision and although it would be a tough decision with 4 really nice ones it sounds like you could not make a really bad call there..
