Well the question you should be asking is not can you but should you. You should do some reading on being a responisable stud owner before you stud your dog and create more problems with over pet population. Here is a little of what the American Kennel Club says about providing stud service. No Bitch should be breed before eighteen months of age or later than nine years old. Bitches should not produce puppies more than two out of three consecutive seasons.
Owners of stud dogs should not accept for breeding any bitch lacking in merit, defined as one manifesting a serious inherited defect in type ,structure or temperament, Nor should they service females of unknown or uncertain background. Stud owners are responsible for ascertaining that the owner of the bitch has the knowledge and ability to provide appropriate per and post natal care for the mother and her offspring. Stud owners are futher obligated to ensure that any litter resulting from a service they provide will not be used in

a manner that is detrimental to the walfare of the breed. Providing a stud service to produce litters or individual dogs to be wholesaled, brokered, or sold though pet shops is direct violation of this code.
Stud owners should aviod providing services to bitches ownered by persons who are breeding without serious intent to improve breed quality, particularly if the resulting puppies will not be sold with limited registrations or spay/neuter contracts. It is the responsibility of all members but most particularly stud owners , to educate the public and discourage casual breeding.
