I'm sure your dog is indeed cute. But that is not sufficient reason to consider breeding from him.

Breeding is not for amateurs.

First, no shelter in Switzerland - nor in any country I have volunteered in - would allow you to adopt a dog with the intention of breeding.
The very ethos of rescue is to combat the thoughtless breeding of dogs which has created the current overpopulation crisis, leading to the deaths of millions of unwanted dogs each year. There are already too many dogs born every day for available homes. And these homeless dogs will die, because there is no where for them to go. Even 'cute' puppies - born because a naive owner wanted to do what you are proposing to do - are among those condemned to die because there are no homes for them.
Any responsible rescue would not only require that the dogs they adopt out be neutered/spayed, but most will also require that any dogs currently resident in the home be neutered spayed as well, unless there are proven medical grounds for not doing so.
No responsible rescue would allow a dog to go to someone who intended to breed. And if an adopter was found to have broken the contract by breeding from a rescue dog or by not having the dog spayed/neutered, the rescue is within it's rights to take the dog away from the adopter. This is how serious the issue is.
I'll say it again - thoughtless breeding is why dogs die.

And... I assume from your questions that you don't know much about how the SKG/FCI breeding world works either - which causes concern.
Only dogs who are FCI pedigreed, who have passed all the relevant veterinary health tests, who have passed the relevant temperament tests should ever be bred from. And only experienced people, knowledgeable in the science of genetics, in canine behavioral science, and with sufficient skills to assist in the birth and to raise and socialize the puppies properly should ever attempt breeding.
In Switzerland breeding within the SKG is strictly controlled. There is a rigorous process called Ankörung, where the breed club judges candidate dogs for health, temperament, conformation. Only dogs who pass this process are allowed to be used to breed. Should a dog who is not angekört be bred, the resultant pups will not be granted pedigrees, even if both parents hold pedigrees themselves.
It goes without saying that a non-pedigreed dog is not a candidate for breeding.
The process is expensive. The regulations for raising pups are also quite strict.
No serious breeder would consider using a dog outside the strict regulations of the club, doing so would damage the breeder's reputation.

And the TSchV also regulates breeding. A breeder has a number of responsibilities under the animal protection law - all of which will mean significant expenses will be incurred.
----
The current overpopulation crisis is fueled not only by evil barstewards in the battery farming industry, but also by naive owners, the back yard breeders, who think that all it takes it throwing two dogs together.
I'll say it again: Breeding is not for amateurs.
