Don't get me wrong, I'm not against breeding. I just think that after a litter you should not breed for the next 2 heats at a minimum if you want to keep mom healthy! |
this doesn't work because we (ethical breeders) don't breed until the second, maybe third heat depending on the female and then we retire them at five years old. so as you can see, even by breeding two and skipping one, the bitch doesn't have tha many litters. You don't want a three year old dog having babies for the first time. most of them are two years old or at leadt 18 months for the first litter.
