| In my opinion you should NOT breed a 5 year old girl. That's when I retire mine. |

| Thanks for the info. This lady has a 2yo male and a female 5yo. She is having to sale due a divorce and wants them to go as as pair. I just dont think I am ready for two. I was really only interested in the female. I am not really in any big hurry to get a female. so I guess I should pass this by. |

| Welcome to YT! I agree at 5 years old she should be retired. Thank you for asking such an important question.

| 5 yrs old is around the time most breeders start to retire their females. I'm sure she would make a wonderful pet though. If you have your heart set on breeding, I would suggest studying up and finding a experienced, respected breeder that can mentor you. There is LOTS to learn BEFORE breeding and even getting your breeding stock. |
