A rottie couldn't come close to a grey! Those suckers are FAST!

I think it is more of a time issue. Only so much light in the day and with the shows going on, it complicates it more.

Though, ASFA and AKC only allow sighthounds to run. Though, ridgebacks and basenjis are not really sighthounds. They are approved though with both governing bodies to compete.

Rotties are herding dogs though aren't they?

Dottie would eat the sheep and Cinnamon would think I was stupid for trying to get her to herd!
