She is a year old and going to come into season in a couple of months time. I was going to wait until she was a couple of years old but I've just been onto a breeders website and noticed one of hers was just 18 months old when it had a litter?

its fine to let your dog have pups on its second season i know many people who let their dogs have pups on the first season but lots of the pups died because the mother dog was not mature enough to look after them properly, my dog had her only litter when she was 20 months old and brought up all 8 pups with no problems

I would wait until your dog was two years old before I would breed her .. for the safety of her and her puppies. I know you want puppies but it is best to wait. You need to keep your male away from here for three weeks. Mostly around her prime which would be 10 - 12 days into her heat. Like I said I wouldn't be doing this heat but next heat should be fine. Give you time to prepare for the new puppies. Get some books, talk to breeders. Know what is all to know when she has her puppies so in case something should go wrong you will be able to help her. 9 times out of 10 nothing happens but you need to know just in case. The first time mine had puppies a breeder was kind enough to come over and help me, teach me, She can teach you more during the birth than any book can. Nothing like the true experience. I learn a lot from her that night, even though I read lots of books on this matter it is different when you see the birth for real. I hope you wait..Really it is so much better on the female if you do.

Thank you soooo much for not doing the whole "I'm having a baby so the dog has to go" thing! Certain breeds may have tendencies to not be as tolerant with children, but that does not mean that they cannot be trained to do well with children. The trick is when the baby comes, teach the dog to think of the baby as another pack member instead of separating the two like some people do. When you bring the baby home, let the dog sniff him/her because that is a great time to get the dog used to the child since the baby is so little and not "grabby." When the dog is gentle, praise the dog and if she seems to be aggressive at all just give a quick correction. Don't keep the dog away as that will only increase aggitation with the baby. If you properly socialize the dog to the baby and teach your child the proper way to treat the dog as he/she grows older, they should get along famously.

Basic Training of the Puppy - Read here https://tr.im/p7n73
The new puppy is certainly one of the most adorable and cuddly creatures that has ever been created. It is the most natural thing in the world to shower it with love and affection. However, at the same time it is important to realize that if you want to have a well trained adult dog, you need to begin the training process right away. The dog, like its related ancestor, the wolf, is a pack animal. One of the features of a pack is that it has a single dominant leader. Your new puppy is going to want that leader to be you, but if you do not assume that role from the very beginning, the puppy’s instincts will push him to become the leader.
The most important thing to remember about training the puppy during its first six months of life is that it must see you as the leader of the family pack. The essential thing is gaining the trust and the respect of the puppy from the beginning. You will not do this by allowing the puppy to do whatever it wants to do whenever it wants to do it. On the other hand, a certain amount of patience is required. Most people err in their early training by going to extremes one way or the other. Although you need to begin the basic training process at once, you can not expect your dog to do too much at first. Basic obedience training is fine and should include simple commands like sit, stay, and come. Remember that trying to teach the dog advanced obedience techniques when it is a puppy is much like trying to teach a five year old child algebra.
It is also important to restrain from cruel or abusive treatment of the puppy. You can not beat obedience into your dog, and it certainly is not going to engender feeling of respect and trust. House breaking is an area where this usually becomes a problem because of the anger that is triggered when the puppy fails and creates a mess inside the home. Although this issue must be addressed without anger, it most be addressed. If you allow the puppy to eliminate inside the house, it will continue to do so as an adult dog. The same thing is true of other destructive or dangerous behavior such as chewing and biting. Do not expect the puppy to grow out of it. You are going to need to train the puppy out of it, but you should do so firmly but with a sense of play and fun using positive reinforcement and lots of love and praise for good behavior.

I dont suggest breeding her untill she is 2 yrs old,this allows her to fully develop both mentaly and physically.The age you can breed from is 18months but its best done 2yrs plus,as some bitches havent even had there 1st season by then.To prevent puppys this time around,keep your male seperate from your female the whole time she's in season,if that isn't possible then there are special knickers available for bitches in heat which have a little pad in,this will stop your male actually getting to her.Good luck.

The Lhasa Apso Code of Ethics states that a Lhasa should be at least 18months before breeding. Even more importantly, your b1tch (and the sire) should have a current clear eye certificate to show they they are clear of PRA. You should not even consider breeding until you have had her tested.

Why would you want to bring more dogs into the world, when there are so many in rehoming centres and being put down because there are too many.
I would not breed that poor dog. If you still go ahead and do so, then 2nd season is prob best, not too old though

Your Lhasa should be at least two years old before you have her breed with another one. The first litter she will get will be a larger one 5to6 and be sure you have them checked by a vet. Also, as sad as it sounds do not expect that all of the pubs will survive.

18 months is OK as her body should be fully developed. If you want to make absolutely sure have the vet check her out before mating. That way you will not have to worry about her ability to carry the pups and delivery.
