Is there any place where I can read up on how to show a dog? Like how far apart to set there legs, how to get them to stand, etc

that takes practice, watching others and what it takes to get your dog to make him/her look their best.
best thing to do is to watch a show and find someone and ask if they will help you.

I agree with Cynthia, I've at this for about 15 yrs of showing and I still watch and take notes from other handlers. It is a lot of work, but when you get a big win. It is all worth it. Good luck
