I just care about her, and her health. Im don't think she will grow anymore, shes already 6 months old. How old do they have to be to breed?
EDIT- She came form a breeder in MO |

I hope you read this and try to accept it, I'm not trying to be mean but, want you to know the truth.
Puppies from Missouri, sold in petstores are puppymill dogs. The breeders either sell through a broker service or, anymore will sell directly to pet stores. Yes, you may have the breeders name on paperwork but I can guarantee you the breeder operates what is known as a puppymill.
Missouri has more puppymills than any other state. My state, Oklahoma is probably 2nd or 3rd in the number of puppymills. They don't openly call themselves puppymills, bc then most people would not buy the dogs.
If you have any doubts about what I'm telling you, either post the name of the breeder listed on the papers or you can private message a member here with the name. The name will show up on some website and then with research you can find out for certain what I'm telling you is true.
Dogs purchased through a petstore should not be bred. Most likely they will have health concerns that although may not affect them, could show up and affect their puppies.
Hopefully you all will decide not to breed your new puppy, and will enjoy her for the pet she should be.
