If you want to breed your male, you will need to ensure he first has the following things:
His AKC Championship (or applicable title depending on your country of residence)
OFA Patella Clearance
Bile acid assay
CERF/ACVO normal eye exam
OFA heart clearance is always a good idea
OFA Thyroid clearance

If you were to purchase a female, she would need the same items and be 2 years of age. If you are not an experience breeder and fancier, it would be very wise to get a good mentor. You can't just put any 2 dogs together and produce a happy, healthy pup within the standard.
