Most breeders would say to breed a girl by 3 years old if breeding. After that time, the uterus becomes less elastic and the pelvic bones will have set, making a first pregnancy after that time risky for the female. I don't like breeding a girl before 2 years old, due to maturity issues, but certainly before 3.
I'm saying this for general information only.
