Obedience and agility shows are a lot more challenging as far as training goes but they are a lot of fun if you like that kind of thing. Conformation showing is more about body type, coat, bone structure, temperament and how they carry themselves in the show ring. There are some pretty exacting standards and most of the judges can spot just what line a particular contestant comes from. If your dog is not from show quality stock then it would really not make much sense to go through all the preparation it takes to get a dog ready for the ring.
If you are really interested in showing then finding someone to help you learn the ropes is very important. You can't just get a purebred, step into the ring and expect to do well. |
