Yes an 8 month old dog can produce pups if bred,but not a good idea to breed one that young.Would suggest waiting til the second season to breed.It is very rare for a female dog to have a heat cycle before 7 months old and this is entirely too young to breed a pet,as the female at this age is still a pup herself.

A female dog can have puppies at her first heat. which may be anywhere from 4 to 8 months. Most generally around 6 months.
It's just not right, do not let her get pregnant this early it can kill her,the pups or both. It is like a puppy having puppies.
If you are going to breed wait until she is at least 2 yrs old. No younger.

Well, yes, but its not good at all for a puppy to have puppies! I think its sad when any dog has puppies unless the person doing the breeding is an experienced knowledgeable breeder trying to better the breed and not just a backyard breeder trying to make a quick buck! There arent enough homes in this world for the puppies that are already here, why would someone want to bring more puppies into a world like this?! But, thats just my opinion! : )

Absolutely! However, why would you want to breed your dog? Is he purebred and and breeding quality? The pounds are full of unwanted dogs and there are many more for free in the paper. JMHO but would not want a dog of mine to end up in a bad situation. Just some food for thought.

YES! Its horrible because she is too young in every other way but it can happen and she can die and so can the puppies. She is still a baby herself. Get her fixed ASAP. If you can't afford it, the city you live in will give you a voucher.
A spayed female is a healthier female. Breeding is gross.

It is possible. An average female gets her first heat around 6 months and gestation is about nine weeks.
But if you are planning to breed, please don't. If you didn't know the answer to this question then you are not ready to breed dogs.

If it's a female and was in heat and mated, than yes. If it's a male than yes again, he's old enough to father pups.

Yes,after the first heat.Suggest altering her.

the females usually got their first heat around 6 months old, and males are still pups but yeah, it will take them some time to get it but they will, anyways, if is a female, you should at least wait to her second heat.
