Does your dog have to be intact? I want to compete in the retrieving field trial with my poodle, but I want to alter my dog at the appropriate age. I know they have to be intact to be shown.. so I wanted to know if it would be the same for other competitions. :wacko:

I'm pretty sure conformation is the only thing dogs have to be intact for b/c it's meant to evaluate breeding stock.

Correct - performance events (obedience, agility, lure coursing, rally, hunt tests, etc...) allow a dog to be neutered. Conformation is the only event that requires a dog to be intact.
