How could someone who "shows" her dogs, not spend time training, grooming etc? I understand that many breeders who show say that they don't believe a "pet" dog shows well, and you should treat a show dog differently, and in fact that's the mistake many newbies to showing make, but show dogs really can and do enjoy their lives every bit as much as pet dogs.
