Therefore his history is somewhat questionable and impossible to trace,so you don't know if any problems run through his lines.

The two reasons given are not acceptable to be offering a dog at stud,you should know the breed and standard inside out,know what your dog can add in terms of improving the breed and quality.

I would suggest you would not find any reputable breeder willing to use a dog of his age with unknown background and unproven when there are younger quality dogs on the show circuit doing well.
