and you DID Mention showing them both in your original post so it stands to reason that's what the replies were pertaining to....I read it that way also.
That was my read too on the original post.

But, it is very difficult to get into the show ring and I didn't want to discourage anyone without them getting by the first hurdle.

You're right the Dog Show World can be very vicious and political and if you don't have a thick skin or let things slide off your back, it's probably not the sport anyone should enter.

I was told once by a very, very reputable breeder/exhibitor....you know you've made it when you start hearing things said about your dogs behind your back.....don't know how true that is.
