Okay that boy will not be ready to "breed" until he has run the full gamit of health screenings and tests - the last of which will be at 2yrs old. Sexually male maturity in terms of readiness to breed may start as early as six months old.

You will need, BAT screenings at 16 wks and a repeat at 6mths old.
Thyroid function full screening at 15mths old
LP evaluated - can be done early at 8wks repeated every 6mths until 2yrs old
Hip OFA;d at 2yrs old
PRA at 2yrs old (prior to breeding)
Heart evaluation at 18mths old
Temperament tested at 18mths old.

Then finally the pre breeding screening tests. Brucellosis and at least a full blood panel done.

And apart from all this, an evaluation of what if any excellent traits this young puppy might have to pass onto the future generation. This eval is usually done by showing your purebreed and by having experienced breeders and fanciers give you a non biased evaluation of your pup.
