Why do you want to breed him? What do you know about his pedigree and the health of the dogs in said pedigree? This is a breed with a LOT of health problems and that is exacerbated by the fact that people are breeding YTs without knowing what is behind the dog. Are all the dogs in your dog's pedigree healthy? How is his temperament, his confirmation? What health tests should be done before breeding? Should he be CERF'd, OFA? What about the bitch you are going to breed him to? There are a lot of people on this list who have had to care for dogs with serious genetic problems, and have had their hearts broken for the pain the dog has to suffer. An AKC registration does not insure the dog was well bred, I am sorry to say. Look at all the puppies coming from puppymills with AKC registrations. There might be a reason the breeder doesn't want the dog bred.
