Dogs
Show
A show is a judged event or display in the
hobby of
animal fancy or in the occupation of
animal husbandry.
Shows feature the best specimens of
purebred
animals in a locality or country. Prestigious shows or those with large purses
(prize money) to be won may attract exhibitors from around the world.
Typically, shows are an opportunity for
breeders to
feature their best
breeding stock, so animals in a show are usually
entire, that is, the animal has not been
spayed or neutered.
Animals compete for the title of
Best
of Breed, a distinction which can add significant value to a breeder's
lines. The top prize in a show is usually the title
Best in
Show or Best (or Supreme) Exhibit in Show.
Animals typically "shown" include:
- cats
- cattle
- dogs
- guinea pigs (often called "cavies" when show animals)
- horses
- sheep
- rats
- mice
- poultry
