Start working wiht her some now - getting use to a lead. You can start showing when she turns 6 months old. I recommend puppy class. Cost is about 25.00 per day to enter. Check with either AKC events or
Jack Onofrio Dog Shows, L.L.C. for shows in your area and the closing date. You have to start somewhere - I just jump right in and learn as you go.
