Toy poodle stud

I have a 7 month old black toy poodle that I would like to use as a stud. I am new to the breeding world and was wondering what age is appropriate to start breeding and also what a reasonable fee for service would be. He is unregistered but very well bred and has good confirmation. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Hi. Hopefully you will get this message as this is an old post. I hate to burst your bubble but if your dog was well bred with good conformation he would be registered. If you are breeding to improve the breed (the only respectable reason to breed) you should only be breeding registered dogs and those dogs should be proven to be good specimens through showing and obtaining their championships. Not all purebreds should be bred and not al registered dogs should be either. After that they need to be tested for problems common in the breed that can be passed on genetically. Please do your homework before breeding.... we have enough litters from uneducated people in the world and many of them end up in shelters.
