Should I show or breed my French Bulldog boy?

I have an amazing male bred by ____ who has since died.
I have been begged to show him, how long would he be gone how involved is this
process he is my baby.
Also my neighbor has a little brindle girl they want to breed with him. He is fawn. What combo of puppies would we get?
I don’t think I’m interested in back yard breeding.
Thank you for your time.

Showing is different in each and every case… If you can show him yourself, he can live at home and travel with you to the shows.. or if you live close to the handler or can meet him/her at the show, he can live at home… Or he could live at home most of the time and travel to the further shows with the handler…
Time could be as little as a few weeks, or much longer… depends on how nice he really is and how well trained, and how many people are showing in your area..
As far as breeding… You should have him fully tested before breeding… spinal x-rays, hips, ears & eyes at a minimum.. and you should as about testing of the bitch.
Colors…. well you could get all brindle - if the brindle girl does not carry a fawn or cream gene. If she does you could 50/50 fawn… and they cold both carry a pied gene - in which case you would could 25% of a pied…
Good luck
