Your dogs have already mated and will produce a litter of pups unless one of them is sterile. The standards of AKC is the male should be 8 months and not more than 12 years. The akc standard females is 8 months but they prefer you wait a minimum of a year. Breeders prefer 18 months to two years. It won't do you any good to separate them now if she has ovulated.If they have been together several times I can assure you that has already occurred. If your goal was to have a litter then congratulations and if not you need to talk to your vet. Hope this helps. Ive been breeding for 25 years. Also check out Canine reproduction lessons 1,2,3 and 4. It is a great sight and filled with all the info you need. Good Luck

Bangs head. What ARE you conversing about!!! If a b itch is in season, and certain, she might want to nicely be by employing 8 months of age, and on the right element in her season (which lasts for 21+ days) and is with an entire doable male, she will be in a position to mate and likely develop into pregnant. yet this does not prefer to ensue. and may not, at in basic terms 8 months. i will't say extra except to assert IF this has exceeded off, she needs a right away e-spay (it really is EMERGENCY spay) so this puppy would not ought to bypass by a being pregnant and rearing muddle even as she continues to be a puppy herself. Shudder.

Usually it's best to wait for the female to go into her second heat cycle. If you breed in the first cycle it's going to be like a puppy having puppies. If she is two, she should be old enough.
