Rabbithunter 456 Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 What is the right age to breed a dog? I've heard people saying 3rd Season, 2 years old and countless over age's. What in YOUR opinion is the right age to breed? Quote Link to post

What in YOUR opinion is the right age to breed? 1st season for all the peddlers out there but when the bitch has proved herself in the field imo if you have to breed Quote Link to post
collie/grey 238 Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Imo, the very earliest 2 years old. Also the bitch should have had at least 2 seasons. But i think 3 is an ideal age. Certainly no younger than 2 years old. Quote Link to post
lucky 578 Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 when the bitch/dog have proved them selfs season after season and are approaching retirement time would be ideal to replace old stock so to speak Quote Link to post

collie/grey 238 Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 when the bitch/dog have proved them selfs season after season and are approaching retirement time would be ideal to replace old stock so to speak I have always been told that bitches must be bred from by 4-5 years old or else thier pelvic bones get very stiff and tight, so making it almost impossible to mate and give birth, is this true?
