I'd be interested to know the question as to how old for a sire. I never gave it a thought because I thought for a male it's not a big deal if he's taken care of. My new pups was sired by an old dog. And, they are still studding him and studding him a lot so I'd be interested to know what kind of toll that takes on the male at an old age. Elaine |
