In New Zealand, conformation shows is for everyone who can afford to pay the cost of fuel for their car travelling, or be able to hook onto someone else to drive them to the show venue. Professional show dog handlers here is unknown among almost all the breeds that are exhibited. The entry fees for showing a dog are minimal -$10 at most per entry - more likely set at $5-$6. Most casual breeders here make little money out of the pups they sell. But our costs (vet fees, registration fees etc are no where near as expensive as in the United States.
