It would be extremely risky and dangerous to breed an 8 year old dog. Regardless of age or health, it is irresponsible and ridiculously selfish to breed any dog when so many die EVERY SINGLE DAY in animal shelters. DO NOT BREED OR BUY WHILE HOMELESS DOGS DIE!
No. Female dogs go through heat twice a year and the puppies only need there mother for four months before they can leave her. So no it does not
2-6 is the average amount for a Shepherd
Unlike a human, a female dog can carry her pups for only three months, then she gives birth
It depends on the size of the litters they have. A female can be bred twice a year, or about every six months. Many breeds have litters of around six puppies but there are times where they will have a litter with as many as 12 or 15 puppies which could mean as many as 30 puppies in one year! Depending on the breed and health of the dog it varies, but the average is 9.
yes
I have had two female pugs and , it has gone into heat at 6-12 months, our vet recommended not before 1 should a dog have puppies, this is because the puppies would be to big for the mom....
Yes, a 10-year-old female German Shepherd can still get pregnant if she has not been spayed and is in heat. However, it's important to note that as dogs age, their fertility decreases, and there are increased health risks associated with pregnancy in older dogs. Additionally, breeding a senior dog is generally not recommended due to potential complications for both the mother and the puppies.
If the female is in her cycle now she will definitely get pregnant and the puppies might not make it. Your dog WILL NOT make it. I am sorry it has happened to my dog. The puppies did not make and either did the mother.
German Sheppard's there the top rated safe's dog in america and has been since 2001 only the pitbull has beat it in recent year's before 2001.

A female should only breed up to the age of seven, a male can breed throughout his life.
