Ben was our house dog. He gave it everything when in the ring. Many of our champion dogs were house dogs, and it didn't seem to make a lot of difference as far as how they show. We have had kennel dogs that didn't show half as well as house dogs, and the opposite. It seems to be the dog, not where they live. It does seem to make it harder when they leave, if they are the house dog. We only have one in the house at a time, but now with this house, that is too many.
