I also get my hackles up when people think that because my dog is a show dog that she lives in a kennel and has no other contact with the world than showing.
There is a big difference between dogs lifestyles that are shown by the breeder and/or owner than those that travel with the entorage of a professional handler.

The relationship between an owner and a dog they actively train is some sort of dog sport vs one that treated as a typical house pet is vastly different as to be uncomparable.
