Alot of overly melodramatic whiners are going to tell you not to breed your stud dog. He should be bred at at least 2 years of age.

it depends on the breed. Usually a dog isn't used at stud until he is fully mature, has won several shows, and had all the relevant health tests like hip scoring, PRA testing and the like. Normally it means that they will be around 18 months at least for all of this to have happened. You cannot just advertise and let them get on with it. You have to be able to manage a stud dog, cope with the inevitable character change, dog aggression, leg cocking in the home, and trying to escape to find females.
Using poor quality pet dogs at stud and expecting them to stay nice amenable pets is irresponsible.

Anytime from 2 years as then he can have all of the tests done to ensure that he has a lower risk of passing on heriditory disorders such as Hip & Elbow Displascia and many eye disorders.

it will depend on the breed of the dog.

Usually 6 - 8 months. But some could take up to a year.
