Show dog

A show dog is a purebred dog who is displayed at conformation dog shows to determine how well it conforms to established breed standards.

In many cases, show dog is used to distinguish dogs whose appearance is valued above its ability to do a job, or whose ancestors were selected more for appearance than for skills, in comparison to working dogs.
