I have an 11 month old staff, and somebody has asked whether he could be mated with her 3 year old ***** staff. I wondered how you went about this. Is he too young, would the vet have to see him and her first. What is the procedure? Where do you go to mate them, what happens? Sorry, but i am clueless about this!
thanks for reading.

Honestly please do not breed them!!! That would be called back yard breeding and it really is not a good thing.
Both dogs would have to be tested for temperment, hips, healty and several other things. There is not reason to breed pet quality dog. There are so many Bull terriers in the pounds right now it is really sad!!! Please do not breed, she is looking for a way to make money!!
Ask her what kind of food she feeds her dog and if it come from the grocery store it is bad!!! How dose her dog look it is part of the family or an outside dog!! All dogs should be part of the family
Please tell her no and get both dogs fixed!! Walk throught th epound and see how many dogs are there because of back yard breeders and people not being responsible enough to get their dogs fixed. I have an AKC reg Akita and he is fixed!! Please PLEASE do not breed I am begging you

Don't breed if you're clueless, please.
There are too many Staffs in shelters & rescues.
Either way, 2 yrs old is the recommended breeding age, and both dogs should have a clear bill of health from the vet clinic, and tested for all potential health problems that the breed is common for. (Some are prone to hip dysplasia, hereditary cataracts and congenital heart disease.)

my answer would be no, esp if u are clueless about it , its something u need to know about and research and be v definate and sure u want to do it. and staff's are the highest number of a breed in rescue homes, and abandoned etc . age i dont thnk matters a whole lot but prob best to wait a bit longer. also medical testing is very important before breed a dog and continue its gene line. i think many ppl who will take a pup will want to know its background and know its parents have papers etc. i have a staff/lab cross called Holly and her mother was used to breed they also had another make staff, but a neighbouring lab met up with the female staff so we ended up with Holly, anyway the lady who we got Holly from said she always had to be careful who she gave dogs away to cos many unsuitable ppl look for staffs and other bull breeds to use for fighting and baiting and basically train the dogs badly. therefore if u intend to breed there are many things to take into consideration when giving dog away to new owners too.
i think if u decide to go ahead breeding after doing more research on it etc, u could go about it in a better way than the situtaion you mention in ur post.
there are many web sites u could try for more info on breeding , here is a link to one below,hope it works

Unless your dog and this person's ***** are perfect specimen's of the breed standard and pure-bred Am Staffs with papers from championship lineage, you should not breed your canines. Have your male neutered instead.
But if they are of breed standard and you want to mate them, you need both your dog and the ***** to be vet checked and certified.
Your dog is most likely too young to successfully mate without your assistance. You should wait until he is around 2 years of age. And yes, you actually have to get in there and help the process along for novice dogs and b1tches!

If you are clueless you shouldn't do it. Breeding should be from the best of the best, not "somebody's" dog. There is not any money in breeding, somebody is a fool if they think so.
We breed strictly for bloodline preservation. Again taking the best of our best. And we have a list of potential owners prior to committing to the breeding, and all potential owners are fellow breeders.
Just save the breeding for the pro's.

Do not mate unless they are both champions and have champion bloodlines and they, their parents and both sets of grandparents are free of genetic disease.
There is alot more to breeding then letting them do "the dirty".
