No matter what any vet i ever had always recommended to wait at least one heat cycle in between breeding's... meaning that no dog should be bred more than once a year.... most breeders i know also say the same... and even on the internet there is a lot of recommendations about waiting in between whelping s to make sure mom has time to recover well.... so she can give the best nourishment for the next litter...
Good Luck in your next family addition !! |
Thank you so much for the advice and the links you provided. The mom that had the miscarriage only bred last spring (our dog was part of that litter) and I believe this is the next one which would indicate she rested. The breeder seems to look out for her dog's health and I don't get a bad vibe at all. Advice and opinions are good to have.
Thanks so much!!
