I've met some wonderful people. I wouldn't be where I am today if not for my mentors and going and continuing to show!
Personally, I don't care for the breeding aspect of this, showing is where my passion lies..

I've always been fascinated with dog and cat shows. I think it would be so much fun to show personally. But, like you, I have no interest in breeding. Even if I have a show quality animal one day, I don't want to breed it....too much work LOL. Dog shows seem to be so different than cat shows. I've been to more cat shows than dog shows & both of my cats came from show breeders (my youngest one came from a wonderful show breeder that I've had many conversations with). In the cat world, there is also a spayed/neutered class called Premiership...the standards are still the same, but the cat is spayed/neutered. I may be interested in trying that out one day...buying a show quality cat from my breeder and showing in premiership. I would be all fun and no breeding Because cats have a spayed/neutered class, it's easier to get into the cat show world. If you've gained the trust of a cat show breeder, they'll sell you a spayed/neutered show-quality cat to show in premiership...it teaches you how to show and gets you started in the show world...without them worrying about you screwing up their lines. I think it's kindof neat. Maybe I'll try that out one day. Showing dogs sounds fun to, but probably more than I'm willing to get involved in LOL. I'll probably just stick to buying well-bred pets

Sorry...I know that was really kindof off-topic but just something I'm personally interested in
