I use to show years ago and now returning since my human kids are grown. But my show babies are and have always been my pets too. They are well loved and in the house. You do have to watch out for their coat. Some I had in wrapes and some not and just in oil. I hated it when my handler went on the circuit and they would be gone for awhile, but their wins made up for it.
Pat is right - it does depend on the person. Some have them as pets others they keep at arms length. Some said it would ruin their show attitude and coat if they had them as pets. I didn't agree with this.
