Anyone, can take any dog in the conformation ring,
unless they are spayed or neutered. IMO I don't see why anyone would want to
spend the money showing a dog that does not stand a very good chance of winning
(myself included <vbg>). As long as the dog is not limping (which SHOULD
get you excused by the Judge) and if you want to just have some fun, go ahead.
But, a better idea is to look into some Match Shows and to find a Handling Class
in your area. I've had many a person standing on the outside of the ring comment
that there's nothing hard about showing a dog. But, once they get in the ring
themselves, they find out it is most certainly not as easy as it looks! I go in
the ring because I thoroughly enjoy doing so. My handling abilities are
mediocre. When I get serious about finishing a dog's championship, I pay a
professional. <vbg>
