Hold old should a small dog be before you breed her?
A dog should be at least 18 months old to ensure she has stopped growing and her body is able to handle having pups without robbing her of nutrients she needs to grow herself. Also she should only be bred, if you are an experienced breeder, with a dog whose lineage goes back 4 generations, with little to no known health problems. Its a good idea to have them CERA certified since a lot of small dogs are prone to eye problems. The point of breeding a dog is to improve the breed, not make puppies or money.
