Well they do have an altered conformation class for those who want to do it for fun. I'm not sure how they work or how popular they are. Also since she is young she may want to get into Jr. Handling, which is all about learning how to show a dog properly, and for that the dog doesn't have to be intact.
But you're also right in that aussies are great at all the other sports you mentioned!! Lots of fun to be had by all!!
