This is your breeder's job.  If the breeder does not show, then more 
than likely he/she will have no experience or knowledge as to what makes 
a dog show or breed quality...mind you this is NOT always the case...but 
most breeders who have some idea about type have shown or are showing.  
If your breeder cannot supply you with the information you need then you 
would probably be better off spaying/neutering your pup and enjoying it 
as a pet.  If you decide you want to seriously show, then go to a 
*reputable* breeder with a history in the show ring so that they can 
supply you with a dog that will be worth investing the time and money to 
show it.
