paulus 26 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 my bitch is 8 now. is she 2 old 2 breed from? she's never had pups befor. if shes fit and healthy then she should be fine, i had a litter out of my 8 year old bitch that was over 5 years ago never did her any harm.

Taz-n-Lily 62 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Best to get her checked out properly, but she should be fine if she's healthy. Quote Link to post
R.A.W 1,987 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 i had a litter out of my old bitch last year. she did great 8 healthy pups. she lost very little condition. it depends on the the type of dog man you are. if your not willing to put the time, money and effort in then don't bother. every bitch is different it depends on there lifestyle Quote Link to post
skycat 6,174 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Ligaments and tissue etc lose their elasticity with age: the likelihood of a caesarean is increased in older bitches. Keeping the bitch very fit and lean right up to birth of pups will help a lot, but if you aren't very experienced in helping whelping bitches you may need the vet to step in if the bitch can't push them all out herself.
