To keep a male dog for breeding they need to be close to flawless, bitches can have a few more faults but our males need to be very good. It is hard to take the news but it is true your male is not of breeding quality, he may be very cute but it takes more, a lot more than your dog has to be used for a stud. Now there are a lot of people that will sugar coat this for you but I think you want to hear the truth, if not why bother to ask. Your big boy has many many faults, but that does not mean he is not going to make a wonderful pet for you. You need to get him neutered as soon as possible before he starts marking his house and then your husband will really have something to complain about. If you want to be a breeder you need to buy from a quality breeder, good dogs are expensive but you can sure tell the difference.
I know this in not what you wanted to hear as I do believe you want to breed your dog and you may choose to do so it is your right , but why make more dogs that are not with in the standard or that people even question the breed. I wonder if he has all these faults that you can see I also wonder about the ones you can not see....Just a thought.
