Now 5 is the average age. I do know of some very reputable breeders that may have a very healthy female that is capable of breeding until 6. But, that doesn't happen too often and usually not done without full compliance of a repro vet. The longer you breed them the more chance of complications. Anyway spaying at 5 allows these girls the rest of their lives to be little princessess.
