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 Club
- be 6 months of age or older
- be a breed for which classes are offered at a show
- meet any eligibility requirements in the written standard for its breed
Spayed 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.
Which breed has the most dog show wins?
Back in 1988 - 1997, Acey, a German Shepard (female) won over 320 dog shows in her lifetime. Living to be over 15, Aceyn stopped agility and frisbee trials at age 11. She had a disease called gigeliteus. Which is where a dog cannot move around very well. She still did obedience trials, but only for one more year and losing abour 2/3 of what she did. My great grandma was the owner of Acey and that is how i know this story :)

A purse (monetary prize) is not offered to the winners of the Westminster Dog Show. The winner of Best in Show as well as the winners of each distinct group (Hound Group, Working Group, Terrier Group, Toy Group, Non-Sporting Group and Herding Group) are awarded a silver plated trophy. Most show dog enthusiasts and handlers/owners of show dogs would probably tell you that the esteem of winning Westminster, which is a prestigious dog show with a long and storied history, is worth more to them than any monetary award they could be given.

Can mixed breeds enter into The Westmister Kennel Dog Show?
The AKC's Board of Directors has voted unanimously to proceed with a program for mixed breed dogs which will allow it to act even more broadly and effectively as the dog's champion.

Right now I have not seen a show that mixed breeds compete yet.

How much money does it cost to have your dog in a dog show?
I show my own dog. A lot depends on how far the show are from you. The entry fee is usually around $25-30 around here in the Oklahoma Texas area. You will have to add in the gas and if you are paying someone else to handle your dog. It is a bit scary at first, but once we won our first 5 point major, our second one following 5 days later, we decided not to hire a professional handler. It is more fun to us to do it ourselves as a family. I would personally have a hard time spending $5000 on showing one dog. But depending on what your drive and gas prices are, it could get real expensive real fast.
How much does it cost to enter a dog into crufts?
The winner of Best In Show receives £100, Reserve Best In Show (second place) and Best of Group each receive £50, Reserve Best of Group and Best of Breed each receive £25, and Best of Opposite Sex (second place within breed judging) receives £10.
The reason the prizes are fairly small is because the main appeal of winning at Crufts is prestige within the dog world and making your name known across the world.
