how early of age can you breed a female dog?

Question

dam im just aking a question .

plus does it matter if dog is pure bred

Answer 1

Not before 2 years old and after genetic testing has been done & passed and she has been shown or evaluated to make sure she meets breed standard.

Answer 2

A dog ages at about 7 years for every human year passed. That means in 2 years your dog is about 14. Would you want your 14 yr old daughter having children? You should wait until after the 2 yr minimum age. Your dog is still maturing and changing in temperment. Let your dog level off as an adult(temperment and socialization etc.) before you add the stresses of parenthood.

Answer 3

The first signs of entering in heat almost always appear in young female dogs around 6-8 months, although they aren't really considered mature until they're about 10 or 12 months old. Females have a twice-yearly fertile period, known as 'seasons', during which her body prepares for pregnancy, and at the peak she will come "into heat", her fertile period, during which time she will be mentally and physically receptive to copulation. A female is able to become pregnant on her first heat; this is not normally considered advisable as she is mentally and physically still young in other ways. Please write down the first signs of heat in your dog. This way you won't be surprised when it arrives, you will be able to adjust to it and plan your schedule (trips), and, above all else, you will have an excellent control over your dog's sexual behavior. The first few days, her sexual scent will attract the male dogs although she will, irritated, bite and chase them away. Female dogs do not enter in heat only in summer or spring, as many wrongfully claim. Unlike other animals (sheep, deer), the seasons hardly influence them; however, they follow their own rhythm, which can vary among the different breeds, but remains almost always the same in every individual. The average interval between two heat periods last between 6 and 7 months. According to a common rule, the bigger-sized breeds have longer intervals than the smaller ones. Two well known exceptions are that of the Daschund at between 7 and 8 months, and that of the German Shepherd at between 4 and 5 months. Female dogs do not experience menopause, although their cycles will become irregular and fertility becomes unpredictable as the become older. Dogs over around 7 or 8 years are usually considered no longer appropriate for breeding, but can still remain.

Answer 4

Although its possible to breed the first estrus cycle I would recommend to wait until at least the second. A young mother is not the best mother. Thats like a baby having babies. Also, don't wait too late to breed for the first time because the bones harden and set making it harder for the female. Go to the library and pick up some good dog breeding books. Theres lots of info on gestation, whelping and both care for the puppies and the momma dog. Remember to feed her extra during pregnancy.

Answer 5

If you don't know, then do not breed her! There is so much more than just breeding a dog and getting money. Do you research before, and I don't mean asking questions on yahoo answers, go on breeding websites, and also look up the type of breed you have as well.

Answer 6

Any female, bred before her second birthday, will have a MUCH higher chance of early bone disease as an adult...The puppies steal the nutrients that the mom needs to mature her bones properly.

Answer 7

The recommended age is 2 years old.
Before you start breeding though you should be doing alot more research.

Answer 8

2 years old. You get a better pup and it isn't hard on the female dog.

Answer 9

We bred my dog when she went into heat for the first time, so probably her first or second heat would be fine.
