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!   |  
 
  As mentioned before, you can't show an altered dog in conformation, but there are companion events that altered dogs can participate in. 
Evaluating puppies for that "it" dog takes a practiced eye.  A process that begins with lots of studying, attending and participating in dog shows.  Learning every aspect of the breed, genetics, studying, studying and more studying.
