It is not necessary to let a female have a litter. There are really more health benefits to spaying her before her first heat.
Why do you want to beed a dog?
Are you not aware that there are 15 dogs born for every one human? http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.cause&cgid=1&rgid=2&stid=10
Are you not aware that there are millions of dogs killed every year because of not enough homes? http://www.jour.unr.edu/outpost/voices/voi.valdyke.animal.html
Are you not aware that only 1 dog in 10 gets a permanent home? www.safehavenforcats.com/main.htm
Are you not aware that one female and her offspring can produce 67,000 dogs in just six years? http://www.metroplexanimalcoalition.com/SpayNeuter/didyouknow.html
That coupled with the health benefits of spay/neuter WHY would you breed your dog? www.sniksnak.com/benefits.html

Why not be responsible about this and join the breed club? It is now not about simply wanting to breed and knowing what to do but doing it in a way that is not detrimental to the breed. Then you will have access to all the information you need to be able to breed her safely and also access to some really nice dogs and lines (with the adverts in the club literature) that will not be available to you locally. Also the breed club will have the information on the expected medical tests that are needed for breeding. As nice as your girl is unless you do tests like eyes, and hips and elbows and any of the known DNA issues you will not know that she is considered fit enough to breed from. It will cost you, but opens doors to the better stud dogs, As for a waiting list of puppies do not rely on it, any list like that is not worth the paper it is written on as once you mention the cost of the puppies many change minds. You also cannot keep safely multiple puppies from one litter as there is a safety and health issue and in breeding does the line no favours. Show her, and get her known then doors will open.

i have a 16 month male alaskan malamute and if you want to breed her then go ahead and do so dont listen to these people that are out to put you down everyone that breeds dogs has to start somewhere and you are only asking for advice. it does not mean you dont know what you are doing. research about it, line up owners for the pups and believe me they will go quick as they are beautiful dogs and well sought after. as long as you have the pups interest at heart it does not mean you cant do this the right way. i made the decision not to stud my dog but if i wanted to nothing would stop me i would find out everything i needed to know and line up owners for the pups. When someone asks for advice, they dont need to be put down. the fact your asking for advice shows you to be responsible with this situation. good luck love.

Ouch. You probably shouldn't have posted a question like that on here. You seriously need to know your stuff if you want to breed. I don't agree with it, because there are so many homelss dogs in the world. Get your little girl spayed - she doesn't need to have a litter.

Don't be a hypocrite - if you feel sorry for the puppies that end up in the RSPCA, or other shelter (here in the US) then don't breed your dog - at all.
Understand this: Just because your dog has a pedigree doesn't mean she is worthy of breeding. Your snowy is probably what is commonly referred to as "pet" quality.
Only the very, very best dogs should be bred.
However, SINCE you're hell bent to breed your dog - then make sure you have done all of the following - plus more that I have forgotten to mention - but someone surly will mention.
1. Get her show championship. Yep. that CH in front of her name is key to even being permitted to breed with a top sire - which is the only way to go. This means showing Snowy in rated shows against other members of her breed. Should take about 2 years to do this - plus thousands of pounds, of course. But hey, you want to breed Snowy!!! So what's a few years and some money?
2. Get all the necessary health checks for guarantee against any kind of genetic illness that your dog may pass on such as hips, coat, temperament, eyes, etc. etc. etc. That's going to cost another few hundred - to a few thousand pounds - but hey, you want to breed Snowy!!! So what's money mean to you?
3. Research the top sires in your area - which will mean travelling the country side for a good stud. AND the stud owners will insist on interviewing you as well to see that you and your dog are suitable mates/partners for their stud. That will take time and money - and a reputable breeder will insist that Snowy has her championship before they'll let you mate her with Sir Studly - But you're working on that aren't you - well, aren't you? So what's time and money for travels etc? And what's a few breeders saying "Sorry, she doesn't meet our standards for breeding to Sir Studly." You just HAVE to breed Snowy, right? So you'll keep on looking...
OK so you've done all these plus a whole lot more - and for some miraculous reason, Snowy - now age 5 or 6 is pg with her litter. Since it took you time and thousands of pounds to get her pg - you're delighted. But complications arise because of her age and she delivers 8 healthy puppies - but has no milk - or has to undergo a cesarean just to deliver - and still has no milk. Or she has mastitis and has no milk. You get the joyous job of feeding 8 healthy puppies every hour or so for the next 10 weeks. And you get to clean up after them and get their shots and and and.
And you have to find buyers for those 8 puppies - which, sadly, while pet quality - are not show quality so you can only expect a few hundred pounds for them - Of course, by now your expenses alone can be upwards of several thousand pounds from showing to traveling, to vet fees, to stud fees, to puppy care etc.etc.etc.
But you JUST HAD TO BREED SNOWY!!!
Wouldn't it be better just to spay her and let her live a nice, long, healthy life as your boon companion?

Hello,
I hope you don't mean to breed from your dog. There are enough homeless dogs and breeding is a very serious thing. In my opinion, if you go on YA to find out about breeding, then you shouldn't be allowed to breed.
Actually I think you are a spoof, go an get your attention at the Zoo.
Hey people, don't waste you time answering her, she is just trolling.

Stop breeding bogs.

Ignore the "spay and nueter police" they are like this to everyone who askes questions like this, not just you, so don't let it get to you.
you can ask these malamute breeders any questions you may have.

You haven't said you've studied to know what you need to do in order to be a responsible breeder! If you haven't studied, you aren't ready to breed, even though your girl is old enough.
You didn't say what you plan to do with the 7 to 12 pups you will get. Do you have owners lined up? Do you plan to get them all yourself?
Have you checked to ensure she's free of genetic problems?
Have you had her OFA and Cerf tested?
Have you checked her ancesters to ensure there are no genetic defects?
Do you have an experienced breeder to mentor you?
Do she and her ancesters have good temperaments?
Does she have good conformation?
Do you realize you'll have to review all of this for the male as well?
Do you know all the expenses? like xrays to see how many pups are coming? a vet visit post-delivery to ensure the pups and mom are all healthy! you have to give puppy shots to them!
Have you studied up on the health problems that can occur during pregnancy?
Have you studied up to know how to tell when she's in heat and ready to breed?
Have you studied up and know how to deal with health problems of pregnancy and delivery?
Are you ready to say NO to a customer who would not be a good pet owner? Do you know what questions to ask to ensure they'll be good pet owners?
You need to learn all this before you start to breed.
If you've learned and are really ready, check with the akc for breeders in states closest to you, and the canadian kennel club for canadian dog breeders if you wish to go that route.
