It's very good that you are being true to yourself, but if it makes you feel any better, she wouldn't entrust you with this dog if she didn't think you would do a good job, most likely. If you formed a good relationship with her, and feel that she's trustworthy, what you need to do is this: ask her to put out the word among her fellow Corgi breeders that you would like to adopt a "washout", which is usually a show quality dog that just doesn't have that special "it" factor, or doesn't deal well with the stress of travel, etc.... Sometimes, they will have a female that they save back for breeding that won't "take", which will become eligible for adoption, also. These types of dogs are often never advertised or show up on their websites, you just have to know. Often they will be a little older (a year or two), but that's not the worst thing either.
Just an idea!
