Why are you wanting to breed your dog? Is she an exceptional specimen
of her breed, conforming closely to the breed standard? Has she any hard to
find virtues that would be a critical addition to the breed? Has she been
tested for genetic problems that can be passed on from the parents and does
she have an exceptional temperament? Has she been shown, and at least is on
her way to being a champion, if not already one?

If you want to bred and do it ethically, you must be committed to
learning all about your breed..its standard, its genetic diseases, the good,
the bad and the ugly. You must understand that your female could die. You
might have nothing but dead puppy bodies whether she lives or not. You might
have to pay for an emergency c-section to save her and/or the pups. If you
lose her, you are responsible for all the feeding of the pups, which will
require you to feed them every 1.5 to 2 hours. ALL hours, not just the
daylight ones. The puppies will poop 24/7, and this becomes your
responsibility to clean whether the mother survives to raise them or not.
The pups still need to be vet checked, vaccinated and dewormed no matter
what. When they reach certain stages of their lives, they need proper
socialization and guidance. They will be your responsibility at least for 8
weeks. After that 8 weeks, you are responsible to make sure they never wind
up homeless in a shelter or rescue. To ensure that, you will have to do
homechecks and make up contracts to be certain the new owners are going to
take care of them for life. You have to agree to always be available to take
back your puppies no matter what.

If you want to be a responsible breeder, look up your local breed
club, jump in and educate yourself. Listen to the advice of REPUTABLE
breeders and learn all you can about your dog. If you just wanna make
puppies to sell for lotsa money, don't bother. We have too many of those
already.

Reason #1 you should not breed: you are thinking about breeding at 3 months. You should not breed before 2 years

Reason #2: you want a mixed breed. Shelter workers do not need any more mutts to euthanize. The average shelter worker euthanized up to 6 mutts a day.

How about never? That way you won't be part of the pet over population problem. Ooops - too late - you already contributed by buying a dog and so for sure at least ONE homeless animal now has a death sentence thanks to you. Our shelters are overflowing and every day we kill thousands of healthy animals becasue they have no home. Why do you want to breed anyway? Make money? Or are you just plain selfish about everything?

If you have a female it is best to wait until she has had atleast two heats.Before breeding her.If you breed her too soon it can kill her and or the puppies. If you breed her too young she also might not care for her puppies. If you wait until after she has had two heats that would put her at around a year and a half old to two years old. If you have a male you are good to breed him after he is a year to 18 months old.You should also have your dog check out by your vet before you breed to make sure there are no health problems. That could endanger your dog or be past down to the puppies.
