Other small more speacialy bred dogs such as the Chiwauwau and Papilon somtimes need a bit of help during births as they are very easily Domesticated dogs and the more domsticated a dog the more difficult the birth may be, these dogs can whelp the same age as terriers, AROUND the age of 2 I:e at small bit before 2. Bigger dogs need to wait till the age of 3, 2 1/2(minimum) it is healthy for any breed and size of dog to wait till the 2nd season/heat before breeding(having pups on the first heat can/will kill mother and pups) Please don't class your dog as a 'small' breed if it is any bigger then a Springer Spaniel, Staffie, (small)border collie or (small)Pittbull.

∙ 15y agoYou should wait until the dog is at least 2 years old. http://www.k9web.com/dog-faqs/breeding.html -Addendum- Though most dogs are recommended to wait 2 years from birth, females are fertile at 6 months. Breeding too young can cause defects and other problems.

∙ 11y agoAs soon as they have their first season, which in greyhounds is about age 2 I'm not sure about others though.
A female dog can become pregnant as soon as they come into heat the first time. This varies from 6 months in some dogs up to 18 months in others.

∙ 11y agoA female dog can become pregnant as early as her first heat, which, on average, occurs at around 7 or 8 months of age. It is NOT healthy for the female to become pregnant this early though. The very earliest a dog should become pregnant is on her second heat. Never on her first heat, because the eggs that are ovulated are immature. But it is better for the female dog's development if she doesn't become pregnant before the age of 2, at which time she is a fully mature adult. If a dog becomes pregnant before this time, say, at 1 year and 2 months old, it is the same as say, a human girl becoming pregnant at 13 years old. The body still needs all of its nutrients to develop into adulthood, and pregnancy is a strain on the body of any female. Therefore, a female dog should be in peak condition before becoming pregnant.

∙ 8y agoA dog must be sexually mature, which is about 6 months. It may not be wise for young dogs to get pregnant so soon. Pregnancy will slow the 6-month old dog's growth.
