I am with Shody on this one. I would prefer to wait til 18 months old or til he completes his titles and health screenings. I think sometimes there is more to breeding than just getting titles. If a stud has SchH3, thats great but can he produce healthy offsprings? What about drives? Sometimes you have to think outside the box.

Entirely depends on what your intent is. This of course depends entirely on your breeding goals. No one should breed anything without them.
Everyone is a little different in this manner. I personally would never dream of breeding one of my girls until 2 years old. It gives me time to know what exactly would make a good match for her, for her to prove herself both type wise and temp, for me to run the needed dna, ofa, etc tests.
For one of my boys it hasn't came up yet. Everyone has been neutered by the time they were a year old due to not passing these gateways. Such is life, and the search goes on for a quality male dog of my own of the standard I require.
I truly wish there was a answer that was cold, and set in stone. What age can a dog breed and sire puppies? The youngest I've seen was 4 1/2 months in a small breed dog. What age should they? It's up to each of us to search their soul on their intentions with that answer.
