I'll start my current male pup in the ring when he turns six months old. But like was said before, we'll be in it to gain experience and have fun more than to win. We won't do more than one show a month until after he is a year old and try to do local only. Since you can't breed until after 2 anyway I don't think you should be in a hurry to finish any dog before two when you can get a much better picture of what the mature dog will be like. Not to say that pups don't deserve to win. If the pup is the best than the pup is the best.
