He's 6 years old and he's presumably never been used? Hum. Normally somebody with a decent male will start by showing him as a puppy, and if he's successful, he will attract interest from other owners with suitably good bitches (although most with knowledge would tend to use the sire of a new dog if he's throwing good stock). If he is that good, I'd have expected his breeder to have shown some interested in using him?
Again most people with a young successful dog will then use him themselves on one of their own bitches, one that the breeder hopes will match with the young dog. If that mating produces good quality puppies, they may, note may, offer the dog at public stud (usually to approved bitches only). And that means you have to have enough knowledge of the bitch concerned and her pedigree, to know whether she'd be ok mated to your dog. The owner of the stud is 50% responsible for the puppies he may have sired, in terms of what they have to offer their breed. I had two at public stud but turned away more enquiries than I accepted.
And then there's testing - it's not enough to have a vet certified 'healthy animal'. Or to be KC registered!!
Finally, as already said, once a male is allowed to mate with a bitch, he will be looking for others, who probably won't be there! At 6 years old now, your boy will be way better staying as a much loved pet. Honestly.
