great minds think alike!! I just wrote the same to Carolyn!! (I was too
chicken to send my thoughts to the list.. is just seemed too darned
simple!!)
obviously, there is no "perfect" specimen, but there are several that are
very close.. I think they could use them and "tweak" them as needed to make
them "perfect" to illustrate the standard..

> What if we had a vote as to who the dog that most represented the standard
was/is? The board would select the candidates maybe one each or less if two
or more people agreed on one. That would not be one that was perfect all
over, but one who moved as the standard calls, one who was beautiful/ to the
standard set up, and clean coming and going shouldn't be a problem because
there should only be one interpretation of it. Then do the drawings from
those dogs. You wouldn't have to tell the public who won if that might be a
problem for some reason. Just my idea.
