I show dogs too but not conformation. What I do is agility, flyball, and obedience. I can also say I show my dogs but in companion/performance events.
I should add: Conformation dogs are bred for conformation. When you hear "bred for show" or "show quality dog" they are talking about dogs that are bred for conformation. Pet quality dogs probably will not compete well against show dogs bred for conformation.
