145 lbs. @ 1 year is huge and not in standard at all, I would not breed him. You will be selling too large of a pup to unaware people maybe in hopes of showing and this large they would be disqualified. The male shouldn't exceed 125lbs.
Your male won't mature until he is 3 and you shouldn't start to breed him until he is atleast 2, by this time you are going to have a monster on your hands.
Have you had x-rays of hips, elbows, etc. and do you know the parents results and each of the littermates? Breeding is not for fun, it is to improve the breed and already with the size of your CC, you will be doing harm.
Sorry to be so negative but the CC was not bred for size, it was bred for endurance and working ability. There is just so much more to breeding than to just hook up a male and female. There are already too many inexperienced breeders out there ruining the breed to make money or to "see" what they come up with.
If you insist on breeding, I would do my homework! Once you breed a bad pup your name will be all over the boards and the CC world won't forget your name...
