Jacky, we know you love to show and are interested in breeding, but Amanda and Nial have valid points.
Be careful and don't just jump in with the first person that wants to give you a breeding cat. You need to earn the trust of more then one breeder of the breed (IMO).
I'm co-owning an Oci now but that doesn't mean I want to house a breeding cat (tho I do admit to missing kittens). I'm just happy that I have several trusted Ocicat breeders that know me now and this is the first time I'm offered to "join in" for breeding. Perhaps in the future it may work out, and I know who I can easily get a cat from who trusts me enough to work with me.
