Can a neutered dog participate in dog shows?

It depends on the purpose of the show (cute, tricks, obedience) each will have its own rules. The American Kennel Club prohibits spayed or neutered dogs from conformation competitions. It states:To be eligible to compete, a dog must:be individually registered with the American Kennel Clubbe 6 months of age or olderbe a breed for which classes are offered at a showmeet any eligibility requirements in the written standard for its breedSpayed or neutered dogs are not eligible to compete in conformation classes at a dog show, because the purpose of a dog show is to evaluate breeding stock.For aesthetic reasons neutered male dogs may be implanted with silicone testicles (e.g. Neutricles).Neutered dogs can participate in AKC shows in such performance events as Obedience, Agility, and Rally (sort of a cross between Obedience and Agility). They can not show in Conformation. There are also events for particular types of dogs--herding and tracking, for example--in which they can participate. Some cities have non-AKC, just-for-fun shows with categories like "furriest," "most kisses per minute," and so forth, and they do not care whether your dogs is neutered or not.

How old do you have to be to perform in a dog show?

To compete in the regular portion of a conformation match (dog show) your age doesn't matter, and neither does the age of the dog. However, to take part in Juniors (which is where the handler is judged vs. the dog being judged as in regular competition) it varies based on the kennel club. CKC, UKC, and AKC all have their own rules. Generally though, I believe the average accepted age is 6 to 18. If you visit the websites for each of the clubs, they do have details and rules posted for Junior Handling.
