Actually, I take it in the best way possible, to me that is a huge compliment. I agree with you. I dislike the typical show BC just as much as anyone. I show my dogs, but I don't breed them for conformation. They are bred for working ability, temperament, health and structure- and the fact that they're freakin' gorgeous is just a plus. Fiona unfortunately probably won't ever finish her championship because of her blue eyes, which is sad, because she is very nice.
I have intentionally stayed away from a lot of lines in the US because I don't think that the direction that most show breeders in this country are taking does the breed any favors, but I happen to love the conformation ring, I grew up with it, and I make it a game for my dogs. Its just another sport to me.
