There is no set rule on age of a male dog.If you breed a male dog over 7 years of age,it is a good idea to get a sperm count from a vet.As long as you get a tie and the sperm count is OK and both animals are healthy you female should become pregnant,assuming that everything is OK with the female.

It looks like two questions.
1. Is your dog too old to breed? NO, but I wouldn't breed a Pitt Bull to save my life.
2. Is your dog to old to get him a companion? NO, he should have had a companion long before now. They do better with a companion.

Your dog should have been neutered years ago. Do you realize 300 a DAY are put to sleep in L.A alone? And 3-4 million are killed in shelters for not having homes?! Its totally irresponsible what happened, and why was your dog not already spayed?
I am sorry if I am sounding harsh. But the breed is enough trouble without even more unwanted puppies being born.
Stop and think!
By some estimates, there are over 1.25 million Pit Bulls killed in shelters across the U.S. every single year. In Los Angeles County alone over 800 Pit Bulls are euthanized EVERY WEEK. Not to mention all the abused and abandoned dogs that die in backyards, basements and on the streets
in the U.S. every day. These Pit Bulls do not appear out of thin air: someone had to breed them first!
The simple fact is that there ARE NOT ENOUGH GOOD HOMES for all the dogs being bred.
Many Pit Bulls will have first been abused, beaten, burned, starved, fought, and brutalized before they meet the mercy of death. There are wonderful, loving Pit Bull pets in shelters and rescue groups across the country just waiting for some kind soul to adopt them into a safe and caring home. Most of these dogs will wait in vain. Pit Bulls are being banned by breed specific legislation all across America. These laws come into effect largely because of overpopulation of the breed and irresponsible ownership. There are too many bad owners, not enough good owners, and too many dogs.
The Pit Bull breed is in crisis. Every Pit Bull brought into the world is in potential danger from banning and/or abusive, neglectful, and irresponsible ownership.
There are TOO MANY PIT BULLS IN THIS WORLD! Overpopulation will, in the end, spell extinction as more breed specific legislation is passed due to too many bad owners getting their hands on this breed. Every Pit Bull that is allowed into a bad situation pushes the entire breed closer to extinction as more law makers point to attacks and abuses to justify breed bans.
Do you have an excuse to breed?
"I love my dog and want more dogs just like her. That is why I want to breed." Every dog is an individual. Genetics play a role in developing personality, but environment & experience play roles just as essential. Genetics is a complicated subject and just because the puppies you produce share DNA with your dogs, doesn't mean personality traits or even their physical traits will be passed on. In fact, the pups you produce could be throwbacks to previous generations. This means you could see traits you never knew existed in the family tree including bad traits like aggression or health defects.
"My pups would never end up in a bad situation". To prevent your *****'s pups (and the potential
pups those pups would produce) from ever ending up in a bad situation, you'd have to a)
carefully screen all buyers and require them to sign a contract; b) spay/neuter all pups before they leave you to ensure that they are not bred in the future to produce even more pups; c) keep track of all the homes you sell to and monitor the situations with each to be sure that the dogs are being treated well and are owned responsibly (and you must be prepared to enforce your signed contract should that not be the case!). If you own a stud dog and are studding him out to
bitches, can you be certain that the ***** owner will also follow the above preventative steps? If you (or the ***** owner) do not follow the above precautions, how do you know the pups won't end up abused, thrown into a fighting pit, tortured? How do you know the pups' future pups
won't? "I want to make money by breeding". Breeding done ethically is a costly venture. It is a hobby, a
labor of love. It is NOT a business venture. Ethical breeders barely recoup costs.
Don’t turn your back!
Pit Bulls in shelters and rescues across the U.S.A. are waiting for you! Will you tell them they
have to die without knowing love?
Will you turn your back on them and instead bring even MORE
Pit Bulls into this world to possibly share in the same fate? Will you help dig the grave for the Pit
Bull breed?

If you have to ask you shouldn't be breeding. But you could care less about the homeless dogs you will be sentencing to death right? Cause if anyome cared, this shameful annual slaughter ... of excuse me ... it is called euthanization so people like you won't feel so guilty ... of MILLIONS of healthy animals would not happen! But you only care about yourself ... sick and disgusting ...

Male that are in PERFECT health are never too old to breed. Have him examined by a vet and get health testing done before breeding.

Pit bulls should be breed before they are 4 months old. After that you should have them spayed or neutered.
