A dog in good health can be bred up until about age seven or eight. However, if she has not had a litter in the past, you may want to use five years of age as the limit for her first breeding.
For small breeds (chi/pom): third heat. This is usually around 18months.
For medium breeds: 3rd heat. (usually at 19-20months)
Large breeds: 3rd heat (usually 21months)
Giant breeds: 3rd or 4th heat, (22-28months)
Do NOT breed your dog until at least 18months.
Let her mature from puppy hood.
All dogs are puppies until at least 15months, even the little breeds.
No Earlier than 2 years old. You need your dog to be an adult before you breed from it. Breeding from Dogs when they are not fully grown is cruel. People purchasing puppies should ask the owner how old the female is before buying a puppy.
Most breeders agree that a female dog shouldn't be bred after age 6 or 7, and only if a vet first examines the dog to confirm she is undergo the extreme stresses of carrying and caring for a litter.
The best ages for breeding are between 3 and 5 years of age. It may be safe to breed from a six year old female, but no older.
dogs usually hav puppies around the age of 4-8 OVER 8 THEY CAN die
A dog can have their puppies as early a year. But that is not very healthy for them it's like teenage pregnancy. we breed our dog at four as our vet suggested
2 years old is the maximum anything over 2 years old (e.g. 3 years old) is pretty risky
I would never breed a dog more than 5 yrs old.
With any dog, ages 6 - 7 is about it, for the dog's sake.
No, they are too old. If they do, you will be risking their life.
She might be too old or have scarring from previous pregnancies.
They are many risks of having puppies too early. Stunted growth, personality disorders, not good mothers, unhealthy puppies ect... You should always wait until a dog is over one year old before breeding.
The only way to tell if your dog is too small to have puppies is to ask your vet. Your vet will be very honest with you.
You dog will stop sitting on the puppies when they are at least 4 weeks old.
about 6 yrs
About 5-6 years old
No, the puppies will not be dumb but if they are in a bad environment it could be possible. I hope this helped!
you shouldn't get a very old dog pregnant it is unhealthy for them
