I have a 3 year old boy who left my front door wide open while my dog was in heat. I'm pretty sure she is pregnant, but we are still working toward her championship. She is due before any of the shows we were planning on attending, but pups would be about 5 weeks old for a show that we REALLY wanted her in. Would you show a nursing mom? Pups will be close to weaning at that age, but momma will still look like shes nursing.

Why did you not have the puppies aborted? Surely that would have been better for her? I doubt she would show well in that condition - most bitches lose condition when they are nursing plus it would be very stressful for her to be away from the pups and she wouldn't be at her best emotionally. Plus it is not really fair on the pups. You can't possibly take them with you. I would say it is unfair on her and the pups and would have to benefit for them at all.
