I've some show age altered dogs and bitches that I could enter in Nationals. But are altered dogs marked down in the ring because they have been altered?

I found this:

Dogs that you want to keep but that you are no longer showing or using in your breeding program can be placed on your retirement couch. These dogs are spayed and neutered and will not be able to show or breed again. However, dogs on your retirement couch can compete in Obedience events. For premium users, dogs on the retirement couch do not count towards the 30 dog limit. For basic accounts, dogs on the retirement couch do count towards the 5 dog limit. Champion dogs on your retirement couch still count towards your prestige.

So, your altered dog entry in the National will probably get dismissed.

Thanks, i'll leave him in and see what happens.
