It depends on what you want to emphasize. It depends on what you want to contrast.
Emphasis on whose father it is:
Your father is smart. Mine is smart, too.
Emphasis on whose book it is:
My book is interesting, but his is more interesting.
Emphasis on the person himself:
Your father is smart. He
Emphasis on whose father it is:

Okay, califjim already told you what i forgot to mention: it depends on what you want to contrast...
if somebody tells you "my father is a doctor" you could give him the answer "mine is a doctor, too". that´s absolutely correct.
but if you just have to replace "my father" with a pronoun, the SAFEST thing would (in my opinion) be to replace it with "he".
