To be honest I think it's a difference in terminology...to me a BYB doesn't care about health being the #1 priority, does not health test and doesn't know the pedigrees and just cranks out puppies and goes on about their merry little way....responsible breeders care about the health, they do tests and breed to the best of the representation as possible and it doesn't matter whether you show or not you just breed responsibly not just fi fi to foo foo you do the research and educate yourself and make sure your dogs are healthy....even show breeders will have an off color, or wrong ear set, off top line so hence selling to a pet home on a spay and neuter contract. Show breeders do not always have something they will take in the ring but the pup is healthy because at least for me I've tested my dogs and know their pedigree and so forth and I would expect those that don't show to at least follow a similar plan of action.
And NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I would'nt even consider going on Oprah because I am NOT a public speaker LOL!!!!
