How old does a border collie have to be to breed?

Answer 1

The age Border collies can have dogs to is um 9

Answer 2

A collie female will go into her first heat when she is approximately 6 months old; however, while she is fertile and could become pregnant with puppies it is strongly recommended that she NOT be deliberately bred until she is 12-18 months old so that she can finish growing herself.

Answer 3

A female can be bred during her first estrous cycle ...but it is HIGHLY inadvisable. It is dangerous to her during her first heat because she is physically not physically mature. Don't do it!

The expert consensus is that the dog should be 2 years of age before her first breeding, which is probably her 4th estrous cycle. [Note: this is the consensus view; there is no unanimity about this]

Answer 4

At least about one and a half years to two years old. You will know when the collie is bodily mature for breeding as it will menstruate but it does not mean that it should be mated that soon. Give a few cycles of the dog being in heat, then consider its age. After all you don't want a puppy breeding puppies.
