Going to the Dogs

My general rule of thumb is that if no defense is being played, it isn't a sport. Although I wouldn't risk going to jail on one person's made-up definition.

there is no defense in nascar nor NHRA drag racing but they are professional sporting events

Professional ski racing, track & field, etc.

Personally, I am glad there is no defense when competing in skeet or trap shooting.

Pasadena rodeo has judges, trophies and awards yet it is not a professional event and you can carry at it. this is why i ask about the dog show.

Wrong. The Pasadena Livestock Show and Rodeo is a PRCA (PROFESSIONAL Rodeo Cowboy Association) event. So, it IS a professional sporting event and thusly off limits.

Pasadena is not sported by the PRCA, there is no prize money awarded only trophy and points for world comp. the trophy is given by PLSR. I know this because my wife is on the livestock committee.

The Pasadena Rodeo is on the PRCA schedule. To me that strongly implies that it is a professional event?
