What is the upper age limit for breeding a cavalier king Charles spaniel male?

Answer 1

there is no known safe upper limit, only that the heart and blood pressure are sound..The AKC requires a veterinary cetification of sperm viablity in males 12 years old or more, before they will register the litter....

Here are the only guidlines set by the AKC parent CKC club>
I. Breeding:
I understand that the purpose of breeding Cavalier King Charles Spaniels is to bring the natural qualities of the breed to perfection in accordance with the ACKCSC, Inc. approved breed standard. A constant danger exists that unintentionally ignorant or disreputable breeders may, by improper practices, produce physically, mentally or temperamentally unsound specimens to the detriment of the breed. I agree to consult with the breeder of the dog I own and/or with some other experienced breeder/mentor before I undertake any breeding.

A. If I do decide to breed a litter, I will: 1. Be selective with respect to the conformation, physical well being, and temperament of the pair to be mated. 2. Breed only after careful study is undertaken of the Cavalier breed standard as it applies to the pedigrees of the mating pair. 3. Breed only Cavaliers registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC). 4. Be prepared to provide proper care for both the ***** and her litter and to retain the puppies for as long as it takes to find suitable homes. 5. Not breed from any Cavalier known to have inheritable, disqualifying, disabling, or potentially disabling health defects Note: Screening for inherited diseases and health defects is strongly recommended by ACKCSC, Inc. e.g. eye, heart, patellae, and hips. 6. Not breed a Cavalier that the breeder has “limited” it’s breeding via the AKC registration unless the restriction is revoked via proper channels with the AKC.

B. As the owner of a stud dog, 1. I will use my dog only with bitches that I feel are an asset to the breed and whose owners agree to conform to these Ethical Guidelines. 2. I will check the *****’s pedigree and registration certificate to ascertain ownership, age, and breeding restrictions. 3. I will supply a Stud Service Certificate listing the dates of mating and terms of service. 4. I will assist the owner of the ***** with the placement of any puppies resulting from the use of my stud dog understanding that I am equally responsible for the resulting puppies. 5. I will provide one free return stud service to the same dog for a ***** that has failed to conceive or to whelp a viable litter as long as the dog is still in my ownership. 6. I will not withhold my stud dog from breeding to a ***** solely on reasons of club affiliation.

C. As the owner of a *****, 1. I will not breed a ***** before she is eighteen months old or her third season, whichever comes first; and not breed a ***** who has reached her eighth birthday. 2. I will not allow a ***** to whelp more than two litters during any three consecutive heat cycles. 3. I will not allow a ***** to carry to term and rear more than six litters in her lifetime.

Answer 2

There really is no acutal age limit but breeding your pet, even if it is a male can be extremely dangerous. Male dogs can develop testicular cancer and other serious problems if they are not neutered and it can get costly. Dogs can be neutered or spayed at any age. If you ever do consider it, try your local SPCA. The SPCA I work for does it for $70. Please take this into consideration. Good luck!
