A dog is able to breed at a young age. Most breeds of dog can have young of their own at 6 months of age. They should not be allowed to do so at this young age. You should wait to breed until the animal is over a year old.
Anywhere from 6 months to a year old.
The average age of maturity of dogs is about 2 years of age. Some breeds can take up to 3 years. Smaller dogs are said to mature faster than larger dogs. The best way to determine the age of maturity is to research information about the breed of dog in question.
A young squirrel (or Flaggerty) as they are known, will reach full maturity at the age of 267 squirrel years. This equates to 28 dog years or 4 human years. The only death caused by squirrel was Mr Eggleswhaite who was chewed to death whilst sleeping.
an immature dog is call a puppy,puppy start from the time of birth to maturity.
A standard collie takes between 18 and 24 months to reach full maturity. This is true of any larger breed dog.
Yes, there's a difference between cat years and dog years. What we call "dog years"(to calculate a dog's "human" age), is simple. For every human year a dog has lived, that's 7 "dog years". So a 2 year old dog is 14 dog years, while a 5 year old dog is 35 dog years. A cat's age is a little more tricky. Different sources vary slightly, but this is the most common way. The first year of a cat's life is 15 "cat years". Then you add 9 "cat years" for the second year, so a 2 "human year" old cat is 24 "cat years". For every "human year" after that, you add 4 "cat years". An 8 "human year" old cat would be 48 "cat years". "human year" = 365 days, one revolution around the Sun "cat year" = the comparative "year" for a cat based on milestones, such as walking, sexual maturity
Yes.Male dogs normally reach sexual maturity between 6 to 12 months of age with the average age being between 6 & 8 Month old. So, as long as the male dog is sexual mature and has not been altered/neutered then he can impregnate a female dog as young as 6 months old. However, using a dog (or any animal) at such a young age for breeding purposes is not common practice and is not recommended.
Depends on what you mean by mature: 1. Sexual Maturity tends to start between 7-10 months of age. 2. Social Maturity tends to start between 15 months to 4 years of age!
Labradors have puppies when they reach maturity and mate with another dog.

the dog is at sexual maturity once it is in heat, (season) you should normally wait until its 2nd season to mate, which would be about 18mnth to 2yrs of age, more info is avialble on the kclub website
A puppy is just a young version of a dog, and puppyhood is typically 1-4 years. A usual sign that a puppy isn't a puppy anymore, is they are much larger and they are harder to train. A dog's sexual maturity age is usually 4-5 years of age.
Prairie dogs are a part of the rodent family, and are actually a type of ground squirrel. They reach sexual maturity around 3 years of age. They grow to be about 12-16 inches long and weigh between 1-3 pounds.
A dog is considered to be in adulthood at 1 year of age although they seem to still be adolescent like until about 3years. Technically dogs are puppies until 9mo. young dogs until 15mo. then adults.
Male dogs reach sexual maturity around 6 or 7 months of age. A nine month old puppy could definitely get a female dog pregnant. As the owner of a male dog, you have the responsibility to prevent unwanted litters. You need to have your dog neutered. There are many free and reduced cost neutering clinics. Ask your vet or local animal shelter what programs are in your area.
i own a 2 year old male portuguese water dog and he is 65 pounds.
When it stops growing completly. But sometimes you can't tell for a while. Actually, a dog is considered to be an adult at 18 mos. Smaller breed dogs are full sized within a year, while giant breeds may take the entire 18 mos.
I've been searching for the answer a long time. Our Kiki lived 14 yrs, 7 months and a day. Best pet we ever had.
