If you can't afford to neuter, you really can't afford to show. Maybe contact a low-cost spay/neuter clinic, or see if you have a Canine Connections near you that will sponsor Kirby and pay for him to get fixed? My dog is a showdog, and the entries are usually reasonable, but the costs really do add up. Entering two shows can be the same price as neutering. Neutering really is cheaper in the long run and you can avoid some health and behavioural problems, not to mention "accidents" that can get you in alot of trouble and kill animals that need homes in shelters. Maybe talk to the breeder and see if you can have Kirby on a co-ownership -- that way she may be willing to pay the entry fees to allow Kirby into shows. I just hate to see a dog go unaltered for money reasons.
