Gosh Carmen, any show breeder would love a "perfect" dog, it is what we strive for, but perhaps never acheive. They should how-ever be excellent examples of the breed!
All dogs have faults, some minor some major. And there is the "look", which in an observer sic breeders mind, might not match the "ideal" they want for the breed. Try to update and or change a standard. Oh boy, it is very hard to do. We could spend days on arguing about ear set to name just a "minor" variant. Never mind ear size.
