I think it is a good question. I have read through the YTCA Ethics and Code of Conduct and although it says a female should be 18 months, it does not address how old a male should be. I am thinking -- maybe use the same rule of thumb as the females -- but I would look for more than my guess.
I would insist on all of the testing and vet checks for both your male and the prospective female. Get a vet read on the safety.
If you do get the vet's okay to go ahead with it and decide to do so -- best of luck on the litter!
