Currently, Blender doesn't render particle emitters. This is good for the times when you don't want the emitter to be show, such as when smoke or fire is coming out of a particular area in mid-air. However, when you want the object to be shown, you currently have to make a copy of it. This means that for animation, you would have to duplicate the motion or do quite a bit of work to have both versions of the mesh doing the same thing. Another issue is the issue of vertex count and rendering time. What I want to suggest is an extra button in the particle effect window that when toggled on, makes that particular emiter visible when renderered.
