Please do not breed your dog this young. Wait 1 more year; she will not have as much trouble birthing, raising and caring for her litter. Because of this, she'll have fast growing, healthy puppies.

If bred under 18months, she may have birthing problems, and because she is still a puppy, she could neglect her own puppies.

If you catch your dog being bred, take her to the vet with 24hours. It is possible to prevent the pregnancy.

If it is too late, care for her carefully, help her with her puppies, and then, unless she is a correct, quality dog that was simply bred accidentally, please spay her. She has already produced a litter that may be put down in animal shelters, and she may escape and/ or be bred again.

This question is a bit difficult to answer as I do not know the breed. I only breed my dogs, bullmastiffs, after the age of 2 years and know that they have passed all their health clearances such as hips & elbows OFA certified, thyroids & heart checked and eyes CERFED plus have their Championship titles on them. I never would breed a dog less than 2 years of age. I stop breeding my dogs at about the age of 5 years and no more than 2 litters. In general do not breed unless you are breeding to better the breed and your bitch is an excellent example of the breed and has passed all her health clearances required of her breed. One or 2 litters are enough and I think the age of 5 is old enough for any breed but that is JMHO. You should always spay your bitch if you are not going to use her for breeding or after you are through using her for breeding. It will help to improve her health and longevity by decreasing her chances of pyrometria (infection of the uterus), mammary tumors, other infections of the uterus, etc.

Most kennel clubs will allow you to breed a female up to the age of seven and even older for dogs, if your dog is in good health there should be no problem but like people the older the dog the less fertile they will be.

Yes, this is safe to do. The age of the dog will not matter. The vets now have the state of the art vet tools that make this procedure a breeze.
