That is too much information to sum up in 1 post. The dog's appearance, size, weight, coat, and details of their physical appearance standards vary depending on the breed you are showing. In the US, your dog must be registered to be shown in most rings. The technicalities will probably be different in your country.

For obedience, you will want to do some basic leash training, so your dog will run/walk with you when they have you do your rounds, so they can check the dogs walk and posture.

The dog's age will depend on the breed. Basically they just need to be of adult age. Older dogs don't tend to do as well, as the signs of aging are "undesirable" traits.

If you plan on showing your dog, you will need to invest a LOT of time researching and grooming. Most people that show their dogs are breeders too, so they can try to breed the "perfect dog". Those judges are real tough on every detail. What they are looking for is the dog that most matches the breed's standard in every aspect.
I know your in a different country but the AKC website has lots of information about showing dogs. Also contact the breed club for your dog as they also have great info. The AKC page might also help you find the what the name of the kennel club in your country. Good Luck
