It will help you make the decision if breeding is something you even want to do. It is a HUGE responsibility, a lot of work, expensive and can be a lot of heartbreak. I agree with looking for a breed club/kennel club in your area. And contact the show supervisor in your area and get on the list to be informed of every show that is even close to you. Then start hitting the shows. I have a good friend that shows all over Europe so I know there are a lot of them. Go with your breeder if they will let you. Start keeping a notebook on what lines seem strong to standard and why. As it is hard to watch your dog and the ring at the same time I would take a small crate. Even if you decide that breeding is not for you, you will learn a lot and enjoy the time you spend.
