Any proper breeder will know that is the minimum age for a dog to be studded.
P.S. I have a male german shepherd 1 1/2 yrs old full pedigree, 54 champs in blood line papers available on request. Hip scores A normal
Rubbish! A proper breeder (in my breed) will often try a young dog at six months, and then wait a few months before using him again.

However, why use a dog at stud unless he has something special to contribute to the breed in question?
