to be honest the older the dog the more used to the 'stud' job so is probably the best choice for your b.itch in her first mating. There should be no complications as he will know his job
also if your b.itch starts lifting her tail it is almost a sure sign she is ready..its usually around the 12th day but i have known early maters as early as 7 days!

as breeding should only ever be done to improve the quality of the breed standard, then the priority is that you are using the best genetic stud dog in the country that you can find! age of dog does not really matter. With a quality stud dog and his fees should come a stud dog owner with experience and will know what they are doing.
As most breeders are lucky to cover the cost of their vets bills and may end up keeping the less desirable or 'uglier' puppies that are not chosen by customers, the I wish you luck. But I not hold out much hope that you will make money.

There should be no complications regarding the age of the dog as many stud dogs can continue being used at stud to 10yrs or even more, although it's adviceable to retire them before then. As long as you've had both dogs health tested and you know there a healthy, sound example of there breed then a smooth mating should occur. A bit ch will accept a male between the 11th-13th day of her season ( give or take a couple of days )

The age of the dog is not important, but if he has never been used before and are using him on a maiden b1tch, you are likely to have difficulties in actually getting a successful mating (especially if the handlers are novices too). Hopefully, you have assessed the 2 dogs & decided that this is the best mating you can do & that the pedigrees are compatible.
The fact that nobody has asked to use this dog in 7 years suggests that he doesn't have much to offer the breed.

HERE ARE SOME THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE DECIDING TO BREED YOUR DOG:
Have they completed their AKC championships in the ring, thereby proving their quality as breeding stock?
Have you studied their pedigrees to determine possible genetic defects going back decades?
Have you evaluated male and female against the written breed standard to determine why their particular offspring would make a viable contribution to the breed?
Have you done the requisite health tests: Hip Dysplasia, Elbow Dysplasia, Retina Dysplasia, Factor VII, Progressive Renal Atrophy?
Have you had their eyes, patellas and hips certified? (OFA, Penn Hip, CERF)
Have both male and female been tested for brucellosis just prior to breeding?
Do you understand the risk to the female in breeding her?
Are you willing to pay for a Caesaran, (quite common, about $1,000.00 + postnatal care)
Are you willing to supplement and tube feed puppies for 24 hours a day?
Are you willing to spend 12 weeks hand raising puppies in your home?
Are you willing to go to the expense of 12 weeks of shots and wormings for however many puppies you bring into the world?
Are you willing to interview dozens of potential pet buyers to determine exactly which ones will be the absolute Best homes for your puppies?
Will you have a spay/neuter clause in your pet buyer contract requiring proof of spaying/neutering before each pup is 6 months old?
Will you GUARANTEE that for if ANY reason during the life of the puppies you've bred, their owners can no longer keep them, they must be returned to you?

Please read the info on this site and get a clear dose of the realty of breeding your dog.
My advice, unless you are emotionally and financially prepared to take care of every puppy your dog produces for it's entire life then you do not need to breed you dog ! You are responsible for those lives.

"catch"....you really sound like you have no idea about breeding and therefore should be doing a LOT of research before subjecting your dog to this.
This is not the place to get your dog breeding advice!!!

I think you need to research this in depth.
Professional breeders know what the issues are and are generally equipped to deal with problems. Clearly you havent done this before and my first instinct is to advise against it.
However as you seem to already made the choice I can only hope that you do extensive research on your own.
For a one time shot there is no money in it for you and is stressful for all concerned. Please dont undertake this lightly.

There is no reason why you wouldn't use an older stud, in some circumstances it is better cos he is more experienced. I would make sure she is up to date with her vaccines and wormed and treated.
I would recommend getting her insured for breeding during her pregnancy so if you have any problems this doesn't eat into your profits.
