Five years old is on the older side for a dog that has not been bred before. Have you talked to your vet about your plan. Do you know the health history of his lineage, and the other pups in his litter? It is often more a question of "should he" be bred, rather that can he be bred.

Maybe you can go back to his breeder, and see if they have pups that are related to him. That would be a whole lot easier, much less costly, and ultimately a lot easier on you.

Outstanding reply. I almost started, but stopped myself!
