showing question
Is it possible to show a spayed bitch in the UK? It doesn't seem to mention this on the Kennel Club breed standard and is the standard the same in all countries? Thank you. |

| In Canada there are on rare occasions classes for altered dogs/bitches... not sure about anywhere else... |
| In the U.S., the UKC offers an altered class now but AKC does not have the same option. |
No not in ordinary classes, sometimes they do hold a neutered class at a breed specialty. But they cant compete in ordinary classes or gain points towards there championship.  Any country similar rules, a dog has to be entire to enter shows.  |
| In the US you can show a spayed bitch (or neutered male for that matter), if she is a finished champion, as a veteran at an independent specialty. Occasionally some AKC kennel clubs will hold a class for veteran competition & will state in their premium list that altered dogs may enter but not be eligible for group competition or BIS. |
| something in the back of my mind is telling me that in the UK you can show an altered bitch.
I may be wrong, but I would go to the Kennel club website and read all the rules............ not the breed standard but the KC rules. |
