is 7 months too young to breed a pitull.?

Answer 1

Yes, especially if it's a female.

Please get your dogs spayed/neutered. There are thousands of pit bulls killed every year already because there aren't enough homes. Please don't add to the problem.

Answer 2

It's not smart to breed a pitbull at any age. Of all the breeds out there, they are the MOST likely to die in a shelter. There are SOOOOOOO many perfectly loving pits out there on death row. Some shelters won't even TRY to adopt them out... they automatically get killed JUST for being pits. WHY would you add to that. Encourage people to ADOPT if they want a pitbull (or any dog for that matter). Go to www.petfinder.com and search for pitbulls in your area. I bet you get over 100 results (keep in mind, these will be current listings... not counting the 50 dogs they put to sleep last week).

That said... YES 7 months is WAY too young to breed. Responsible breeders wait until age 2. Responsible breeders also only breed dogs that are papered and show quality... so as to improve upon the breed. They also know everything there is to know about the breed they are breeding. If you're asking if 7 months is too young, you DEFINITELY do NOT fall into the "responsible breeder" category!

Answer 3

7 months is too young to breed any dog... at 7 months they are still classed as puppies. You wouldnt let a 7 month old child get pregnant, so its the same for dogs.

Answer 4

7 months is to young, she is still a puppy herself. And wouldn't you want to wait and see what her disposition is first before you breed her. It's good to wait until they are 2 for them to be breed the first time. Her being so young herself, if she did have puppies, it's not saying that she will take care of them because of her being so young herself. I would wait, let her grow into herself first!!

Answer 5

Of course it is! Dogs are mature when they get around 1 year old so you need to wait a little longer. Also, please neuter your pets to help stop the overpopulation problem and if you insist on breeding, at least make sure each puppy gets a loving permanent home with responsible people.

Answer 6

If you dont know the answer to this questions you should not even think about producing one puppy. Go to the shelter and look at all the dogs you are going to be contributing to by breeding this dog.

Answer 7

YES - don't breed your dog!! There are enough at the shelters to choose from. Keep her and treat her well. Train, train, train. There is no need to breed. Be responsible and get her spayed, the sooner the better. She deserves better.

Answer 8

Please dont breed or buy because there are many animals waiting for you to sweep them away to a better place than an animal shelter!

So if you are looking for a pet like a dog, cat, small furry animal, bird , reptile or any pet please go to your local animal shelter and save an animals life !

They are just as loving and as beautiful as the ones that people breed and have at pet stores!!

Spaying or Neutering Is Good for Your Pet

* Spaying and neutering helps dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives.
* Spaying and neutering can eliminate or reduce the incidence of a number of health problems that can be very difficult or expensive to treat.
* Spaying eliminates the possibility of uterine or ovarian cancer and greatly reduces the incidence of breast cancer, particularly when your pet is spayed before her first estrous cycle.
* Neutering eliminates testicular cancer and decreases the incidence of prostate disease.

Spaying or Neutering Is Good for You

* Spaying and neutering makes pets better, more affectionate companions.
* Neutering cats makes them less likely to spray and mark territory.
* Spaying a dog or cat eliminates her heat cycle. Estrus lasts an average of six to 12 days, often twice a year, in dogs and an average of six to seven days, three or more times a year, in cats. Females in heat can cry incessantly, show nervous behavior, and attract unwanted male animals.
* Unsterilized animals often exhibit more behavior and temperament problems than do those who have been spayed or neutered.
* Spaying and neutering can make pets less likely to bite.
* Neutering makes pets less likely to roam the neighborhood, run away, or get into fights.

Spaying and Neutering Are Good for the Community

* Communities spend millions of dollars to control unwanted animals.
* Irresponsible breeding contributes to the problem of dog bites and attacks.
*Animal shelters are overburdened with surplus animals.
* Stray pets and homeless animals get into trash containers, defecate in public areas or on private lawns, and frighten or anger people who have no understanding of their misery or needs.
* Some stray animals also scare away or kill birds and wildlife.

Answer 9

you could breed your dog but most likely all the puppies will die and it could end up killing your dog. Also if you want a specific breed try doing a punett square to determine the probability of getting the dog you want.

Answer 10

YES!! She is still a puppy herself. If you are going to breed her you need to wait til she is older than 2 years and have her health tested clear before doing so.

Answer 11

IF YOU'RE TRYING TO KEEP ALL THE PUPPIES, AND TAKE CARE OF THEM, THEN DO SO (WHEN SHE'S A LITTLE OLDER). BUT IF YOU PLAN ON BREEDING HER ONLY TO MAKE MONEY OUT OF HER PUPS, THEN DON'T DO IT AT ANY AGE. YOU NEVER KNOW HOW THOSE POOR LITTLE ONES WILL LIVE THEIR LIFE, PLUS PEOPLE BREED PIT BULLS TOO MUCH, AND A LOT OF THEM END UP GOING TO SHELTERS BECAUSE THEY GO TO UNRESPONSIBLE PEOPLE.
