Can you show an altered dog? Specifically, can you show a neutered/spayed dog?
Also, how do you know if you have a show-potential pup?
Thanks! |
You can not show an altered dog in conformation but maybe in agility? The purpose behind showing in conformation is to have your dog evaluated for breeding.
IDK how show breeders know if they have a show potential, but am sure there are specific traits they desire, know to look and breed for and although can never be certain of their results, have a good idea of what they are producing.
This is a good link to learn about the basics of showing.
