Has this dog been x-rayed hips and elbows? Has he been tested for genetic diseases? Is he titled? are his parents titled? At 16 months he won't have a Schutzhund 1 or been breed surveyed. He needs at least both those things before even being considered for breeding.
Same for any female dog.
Most dogs should never be used for breeding. They may be nice dogs. They may even have nice lines. It does not mean they will improve the breed or should be bred.

Second here are the SV rules for males and females if you want to be an ETHICAL breeder:
http://www.schaeferhund.de/site/typo3conf/ext/nf_downloads/pi1/passdownload.php
Breeding rules for the SV (in German...use Google Translate)
Basic SV breed requirements
Inbreeding of 2-2 or closer (breedings between litter mates or to their parents or grand parents) are not permitted.
Both dogs must have a minimumSchH1or IP1 or HGH training degree and the "a" stamp (Hip certificate).
The male must have completed his 24th month before he can be used as a stud dog, and may serve a maximum of 60 bitches annually, spaced evenly throughout the year. Artificial inseminations are not permitted.A female must have completed her 20th month before she can be mated for the first time.

Hips and elbows must not be displastic....
#2
Dog must be within the breed standard....
#3
Dog ought to have a working title AND a show title
(this prooves that the dog is within the breed standard).
#4 Genitic testing is a very large plus.
(rules out DM and other horrible desieses).
All of this being said,
The AKC doesn't have rules.......... so if you want to be a crappy puppy mill breeder then just go out an buy a female and let them at it........
You can sell them for $200.
Half will end up tied to a tree in some redneck's front yard or dumped at the shelter when they're no longer cute.
You will have no respect from this community
You are the one that has to look at your own self in the mirror.

Just because certain individuals are not as informed as others it doesn't mean they can't be treated with respect and given the answers they're looking for without being villified.
Come on people, educate, don't assassinate.

Titles are necessary to breed in the SV. There is a reason for that.
Just because you like your dog or your dog is uhhh.. 16 months old and "humping ever" (sic) does not mean he should be bred.. and yeah.. that statement really did make me cringe.
Titles are one part of the equation (if you do it right.. and honestly) to help ascertain a dog or bitch's worthiness to breed.
Just because a dog or a bitch has the body parts to reproduce does not mean they ought to. If that statement is jumping on someone it is not meant to. It is just a truthful statement.
IMO (which is as valid as any opinion and not necessarily one anyone need agree to) puppies should not be put on the ground unless they are from parents that have been proven and the combination of the genetics from those parents are a serious attempt to improve or be an asset to the breed. And yes.. I mean the BREED not just the two individual dogs involved...

As to why...because my time rescuing German Shepherds that were beaten, starved, tied up for years because no one wanted to or could handle them, thrown away, has told me that we have enough ENOUGH dogs out there without having people who don't have the full lineage of their dogs breeding. I have cried so many tears, nursed so many broken bodies, tried to heal so many damaged psyches that telling someone what the SV rules are is not something I think is out of line.
