well yes but you would NOT have a dog to show
you should have a dog to enjoy care and give
it a good life not for shows
I'm not sure if you have ever owned a show dog, but there is more to showing a dog than just taking it in a ring. A dog who is not loved and cared for and enjoyed as a pet will not make a good show dog. People who get dogs "just to show" are still taking extremely good care of their dogs and they are enjoying their dogs and loving them as much as you love and care for yours. It takes alot of patience, training and love to get a dog to do well in the ring. A dog can conform perfectly, but it is worthless as a show dog if it is shy and unconfident.
