Part 2: Dog Shows


      In order for a dog to qualify as a show dog and participate in dog shows, the dog must be of age, which is 6 months or older, acquiring a breed type. To participate in a dog show, the owner must have his or her dog registered as an individual with the American Kennel Club (AKC). As a puppy, he or she should start being trained and as the puppy age older be more exposed outdoors at parks along with walking around the block or at the beach. A show dog should meet up with the standards, requirements and have no disqualifying faults. Faults can include a dog being over or underweight and being taller or shorter then he or she should be. With professional dog breeders, they breed using selective breeding and not natural selection.
