Most females will have their first season aged approximately 6 - 9 months. It does of course vary from dog to dog exactly like it does with female humans.
Most vets would agree that it is not a good idea for a dog to have puppies on her first season, in fact most would suggets waiting until the dog is on her second or thirds season and approximately 18 months old. This allows the dog to have finished growing herself before she starts trying to make puppies.
Dogs are at their best for mating between 3 and 5 years of age. Females can be bred without health risks from their third season and males can be bred from at two years old. Male dogs can breed indefinately to any age and do not become infertile, whereas females will usually stop cycling at 7 years old.
Although many dogs remain fertile and continue to have heat cycles well into their senior years, you should not attempt to breed from a female Dog that has reached the age of around seven. Healthy male dogs can continue to breed happily throughout their lives, so long as they retain their sexual drive, but females should not be mated if they are seven years of age or older. Having puppies can be extremely stressful and draining on the bitch and therefore it is often inhumane to allow a Dog that should be enjoying its senior years to breed. The health risk to the bitch is also increased the older the Dog is when mated.
a male can be bred at about 18 months, when it is full grown
the recomdation I got from the top breeders is that the first time the dog is in heat, let it pass it by. From then on it is good to breed. The dog is recommended to be 1 1/2 t0 2 years old.
I would advise age 2. At this age the dog is fully matured
At about three years.
11-12 years.
No. Two male Staffordshire Bull Terriers living together is a bad idea. They will fight each other, often to the death.
Theoretically yes, any breed can be mated with any breed. In this situation it would probably be adviseable to use a female Staffordshire Bull Terrier and a male American Staffordshire Terrier for ease of mating. Be sure not to use an American Staffordshire Terrier that is too big as it might hurt the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Bear in mind that the resulting puppies will be crossbred so will have less value than purebreds. They will also probably either resemble large Staffordshire Bull Terriers or small American Staffordshire Terriers.
The American Staffordshire Terrier is the tallest purebred pit bull. It can grow to 20 inches tall at the withers.
The pit bull is a non-official separate breed - to get pit bull puppies you breed two pit bulls together. However, there is no AKC registration available for this breed (currently) as it is not recognized as a separate breed.
It is the male that is the healthiest and biggest and breeds with the females.
If both the male and female are healthy there should not be much problem in them mating successfully.
They come from fox terrier and pit bull. I have two and my male is mostly pitbull and the female is mostly fox terrier but they could reverse to.
about three years, i think, different breeders say different things
sometimes yes and sometimes no it depends where you get them and how you and the breeder are you should always get them as a puppy and start training early remember always be nice! KB
The American Breed Standard for the American Staffordshire Terrier height is 18 to 19 inches at the shoulder for a male, and female 17 to 18 inches at the shoulder.
No! I own a female Staffordshire Bull Terrier. They don't drool. In general, the wet-mouthed dogs are those with loose jowels. The Staffordshire Bull Terrier has tight lips/jowels. Also, a male dog that is not neutered in any breed, not just wet-mouthed breeds, may produce some drool when it gets sexually excited around a female dog that has not been fixed. But in general, SBT's do *not* drool.
