I have a 5 year old Boxer that just this year had her first litter and I am wondering if i should get her fixed or let her have more litters?

She should have been spayed long ago. Don't let her have any more puppies. There are too many unwanted puppies as it is.

Boxers only live about 10 years. Five is too old to continue having more litters. You should have her spayed right away.

Get her spayed now. Breed best when: 1. The canine is AKC registered and bred to the equal breed. 2. The dog is at the least 2 yrs ancient and been demonstrated for genetic issues. 3. The dog has been proven to championship.

She should be spayed. Personally I think 5 is a little old for a first litter. Why let her have more puppies? There are plenty of homeless boxers, and spaying is better for her health.

It's really up to you. If you are prepared to handle another litter of puppies and getting them good homes, then maybe you'll want to breed her again. If not, get her spayed. Personally, I appreciate it when people spay their dogs as puppies because it does help with overpopulation, but I'm certainly not going to tell you what to do. Good luck.

IF you want puppies, don't get her spayed, if you don't want her to have puppies have her spayed, from the first litter, i'd keep them for a while, after a couple of months sell some of them or give them away to your friends.
Good Luck!

I'd get her spayed. You got lucky with that litter you didn't lose her and the litter. Unspayed, she is more susceptible to Pyometra, which can be fatal.

You should have had her spayed by the time she was 6 months old! Why on God's green earth would you want her to have more litters? Don't you think there enough homeless dogs languishing in shelters already? For pity's sake get her spayed! Make the appointment right now! Please!

You should have had her spayed when she was 6 months old before she went into heat for the first time.
No. Do not let her have more litters. People who breed irresponsibly are not nice - and you don't want to be thought of that way.

ideally she should have her first litter young at about 2yrs for big dogs and 1 for smaller breeds. id say she's getting a bit on to have so many litters, spesh since shes a first timer. i think the maximum is 7/8 and there classified as an old dog by then.
