When is it to late to breed your English bulldog?

Answer 1

Special note for English bulldogs - this breed of dog still exists primarily because veterinarians are available to perform C-sections for the puppies to be born. The narrow hips of the breed combined with the relatively large head size means the female is often unable to deliver the puppies through the birth canal - they are too big for the space. If you are planning on breeding an English bulldog, you need to plan carefully so that a veterinarian is available to perform the C-section on an emergency basis if needed. Most English bulldog breeders schedule the C-section when they know the female's breeding date.

When your English bulldog no longer shows signs of heat (in the female) or has decreasing semen quality (in the male), that is when it is too late. Otherwise, most dogs can be successfully bred for most of their adult lives.
