In the world of AKC dog shows, it takes 15 points to obtain a Championship.
Of these points (2) shows should be Major Wins...the # of dogs needed on a given show is different from Region to Region: Major wins are (3, 4, or more points on one win...
Most show/exhibitors will not breed a female until she completes her championship....Reason...you will have to pull her out of the show circuit and the coat must be cut down prior to whelping....you don't want those little puppies to get strangled in mommies coat when they are nursing. Males can be used for stud prior to completing their Champion ship, if the are over the age of 7 months (this age because you can not register pups until your stud has reached this age)...I don't breed my males or females until championship is completed.
