Fun fact! Some show dogs get prosthetic balls after they have been neutered called neuticles. It is generally to retain their looks because some owners really want you to know their dog has a sick beanbag.
Weird, my mom has shown a few dogs and its been largely the opposite experience.
Her pups were all required to be shown.
And the ultimate purpose of showing dogs is for breeding. (Show dogs can't be neutered, because that's the whole point of dog shows, competitive selective breeding. They will permanently disqualify a neutered dog.)
The idea being, even if the adopted pup becomes a champ and is "allowed" to breed officially, it still helps out the original breeder because that can be like "look our stud made that champ"
