We have an eight month old mini.schnauzer, I know that he is far to young to breed at the moment. But someone has already asked for his services next year. He is of excellent pedigree, and the breeder informed us that he was show/breeding quality. In fact he is a fine example of the breed, stocky, sqaure and 14inches in height. He has a beautiful character. Would it be wise to breed from him? Would it change his character? Are there any health issues we should consider first(other than the breed conditions).

Please help.
