Which brings me to ask about his background, his pedigree. Are his parents Champions? Are they OFA certified? Do you show him? (Showing is a good way to determine his quality according to the standard.)

You want to breed him responsibly and those who are responsible/reputable breeders show their females and it's among show dogs that they look for the sires for thier litters. Those that don't show are causal breeders and just produce puppies to make extra money and don't do the healh tests, or attempt to breed to the standard. Not the type of females you'd want to be breeding your boy to.
