First things first, you'll want this little guy to physically mature completely, as well as mentally (wait until he's right around 2 years old) and then you'll also want to have his heart;liver;eyes;elbows;hips and knees checked by your vet. Only AFTER he has passed ALL of these, then you should consider breeding him. Breeding should be taken quite seriously and only those that pass these health qualifications should be considered and if their conformation is to standard (imo) then should you actually go through w/ it. That aside, the MOST important thing is that health!!!
