most dogs 6 months to a year most usally have there first heat cycle at 6 months although its not allways healthy for them to get pregnant this young you are better off waiting till they are a least 1yr old.
Your female dog can only become pregnant if she is bred while she is in heat. Normally the smaller breeds mature faster and come into heat around 5-6 months of age while the larger breeds come into heat at anywhere from 6-13 months of age. They will normally have a heat cycle every 6 months. I suggest you spay your pet. She will live a longer and healthier life. You will cut down her risks of unwanted pregnancies, mammary cancer, infections of the uterus, etc.
Different dogs reach sexual maturity at different ages, usually between six and eighteen months old, but in some cases, as late as two years old.
In general, it's better for the dog, and for her puppies, if you wait until she's fully mature before allowing her to become pregnant. Two years old is a pretty good age for her first litter.
It is possible for a female to begin her heat cycle as young as 6 months of age. More commonly it begins around 9-12 months. This is why it is important to fix your female (or male) dog as soon as it is ok'd by your veterinarian (usually around 3 months of age).
Possibly. Some dogs will have what is called a silent heat cycle where the dog shows not clinical signs of heat. This commonly occurs on their first heat cycle, however since not witnessed, owners commonly think that the dog's first heat cycle is actually their second heat cycle. Thus if a dog was mounted and bred (which is in all honesty very rare as females will usually not allow mounting unless during estrus) during the silent heat, it could be a fertile breeding. So to answer your question, if a dog was bred prior to her first heat cycle, no she will not become pregnant as ovulation would not have occurred, if the mounting occurred during a silent heat, yes it is possible.
Yes, it's quite possible for a dog to get pregnant in its first year. But it should be prevented. They are still puppies themselves! Spaying a female dog at a young age (not too young) will stop a female dog from having the urge to mate, and will also stop her from going in to heat. Dogs who get pregnant in their first year often have less healthy puppies and smaller litters. Young dogs giving birth may need operation to get her pups out of her womb or at least, help with her giving birth.
Yes, most can reproduce at 6 to 8 months old.
yes everything should be just fine if its the second heat that's even better.
yes they can have them before... my dog was born in June and got pregnet in December of the same year
Its possible but the chances are very slim you should wait until the dog is a year old at the youngest but 18 months is the recommended age hope this helps :)
they have to be 2 in human years to have babys
under one year old
Baby dogs can be sometimes known as 'pups' or 'puppies', and sometimes even 'canines'. A baby dog can be called a puppy up until it becomes one year old.
A dog is one year old. Although we may say it has lived the equivalent of say 6 human years, it has been alive for one year, so we say its one year old.
Contrary to the old saying one dog year is not equivalent to seven human years. Vets use the formula that a one-year-old dog is 21 in human years, and every year of the dog's life thereafter is like 4 human years. So your two-year-old dog is 25 in human terms.
Yes.
If I had a one year old I would get her A GREAT DANE or a SHIBA INU.

This is one kind of dog that's good for a 13-year old, http://dogtime.com/golden-retriever.html
It's widely accepted that a dog ages seven years for every one human year. So a 1 year old dog would be the equivalent of a 7 year old child.

If your 7 year old dog is an unneutered male and your four year old dog is an unspayed female, the answer is a definite yes. Getting one of them "fixed" as well as carefully keeping females that are in season away from males that have not been neutered or otherwise made sterile, will prevent a pregnancy.
no your baby can be one year old and still be claimed on your taxes according to the IRS if a baby is born in the year even on the last day it is claimable for eic
