Dogs normally live to be 12-15 years old, and some can still father puppies at that age. Ofcourse most Dog Clubs only register puppies if the father is under 12 years old. Your dog's sperm count should be healthy for atleast 6 years. Between 7-10 years of age there will be a decrease in sperm count, which could be enough to keep him from breeding.

What does a dog's knot look like?
A dog's not is a swollen penis. This usually happens when a male dog is tied to a female. When the male dog is ready to release his sperm to his mate, his penis will start to swell into a pink bulb shape on his shaft. This bulb shape is meant to make sure his sperm doesnt come out, and allow the sperm to more likely make his mate pregnant.
Will a cryptorchid dog produce viable sperm?
This will depend upon the exact state of the testicles. If both testicles are retained within the body wall, the dog will be infertile and produce no viable sperm. If only one testicle is retained within the body wall and the other has descended into the scrotum, the dog will produce viable sperm but likely have a low sperm count. If only one testicle is retained but it is outside the body wall although not in the scrotum, the dog will produce viable sperm and may have a normal sperm count. However, cryptorchidism (retained testicles) is a highly inherited condition, and it is likely that the dog would pass this defect on to his offspring. For this reason, most veterinarians and responsible breeders will advocate for the dog to be castrated and removed from the breeding pool.
What age is a male Jack Russell male dog fertile?

How many times can a female dog engage with a male dog?
If by "engage" you mean as in a mating tie, I do not think there is a limit, except in terms of the stamina of the male. If a male is left alone with a female in heat, the two could mate several times a day. If the male is sick or out of condition, it would undoubtedly be much less than that. When reputable breeders are doing a breeding, they typically breed the pair once every other day, to allow the male's sperm count time to recover after each breeding.

What would cause low sperm count in 4 year old male beagle dog?
Pesticides from yards, farms, and even in flea protection could lower his sperm count. Stress from waiting for you to get home, waiting to go outside, waiting to get ouf of a kennel, of hearing strange sounds, and running in circles and barking while nervous about it can do it. Not being around other dogs can also cause depression, and lower sperm count. Plus foods that don't have enough protein can lower sperm count, but being overweight from to much protein can also lower it too. So simply keep him away from pesticides, stress free, calm, fed, and happy! If it's still a problem, then it could be small balls not producing enough sperm.
What age can male dogs breed?
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 matureThe 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.
What Age a male dog can cause pregnancy?
Males can produce sperm as early as 6 months of age, but the sperm is usually of small number and of poor quality. As the dog matures the sperm become more numerous and their quality improves. You should never breed a dog (male or female) until they are AT MINIMUM - over two years of age and have the proper health clearances, titled and purebred. When breeding you only want to breed those specimens of superior quality that have proven themselves either in the show ring or in work against those of the same breed. Breed to better your chosen breed, not destroy it.
