Remember, your assessment of his overall appearance and temperament are one thing, an impartial party is the one that should be evaluating your dog (ie ... showing and temperament testing).

AND, he is a puppy and not yet come into himself mentally, so although his temperament is sweet and loving now, boys do change. Not into maneaters, but he will not necessarily be a placid, laidback boy once his hormones kick in.

I don't know how things work in Australia, but here in Canada, stud dogs who are not proven in any venue, even if their parents are, are not ones who are sought out for breeding (remember, it is the bitch's owner who choses her stud dog, not the other way around).

SO, regardless of his size (and I love a small, tight package), if he is not proven himself, you will find little interest in breeding to him.
