Professional ( & responsible) breeders sometimes let their male dogs first sire a litter at 1- 1/2 years old, but most wait because they want to get their dogs OFA & CERF results before breeding. No early then 18months though, because you have to make sure your dog is well trained and settled down or your in crazy time.
The female should be at least 2 years old.

The males should be at least 9 months to be certain his sperm is mature
The right age to allow a male dog to breed is once the dog has crossed one year of age. This is so because at this age, the dog has already attained puberty and the secondary sexual characters are developed to allow it to mate with a female dog. They can breed at any age but that is the best time to do it.

Quoting the AKC: Typically, males reach sexual maturity before females, meaning some males can sire a litter when they are six months old or less. Females take a little longer to mature. But the best answer to this question is to wait until both are fully mature (usually once a dog reaches at least 2 years old) so you can assess their physical traits and find the best mate to breed away from any faults. You should also wait for your dog to fully mature so that you can perform any necessary health tests (these are different to standard health checks) on them to make sure that they won't pass on any heritable diseases or conditions.

Male dogs can breed for all of their adult lives, however the viability of their sperm is thought to decrease as they become geriatric.

Probably about the time you would get married(about 20-25).Remember,dogs age faster than humans,so this would happen faster for them.

The earliest age for a male dog to produce sperm is at 7 months but it is not quality sperm. I would mate dogs at 2 or 3.
