99% of the dogs you speak of exist in a vacuum outside of any performance requirements, other than "being pretty".
Function doesn't follow form - form follows function. Horse purchasers have to be willing to not accept "perfect", and to realize that a variety of what are thought of as "flaws" are perfectly compatible with function and soundness.
Admittedly difficult to do, to have experience as that teacher, when those flaws never are allowed to make it to the track extant.
