It depends on how often they go into heat and how the last whelping went. How many puppies they had, how quickly they bounced back. If she whelped with no trouble and bounced right back from it then I would breed her again on the next heat.
I have one that truely loves being a mom, she does great, has free whelped all of her puppies, the largest one weighing 5.2 ounces.
She takes excellent care of them and plays with them when they get old enough. I have used her as a wet nurse to other puppies when she had a small litter and another mom had a large litter. If there is a puppy in the house, she wants to mother it. |
