I believe it depends on the health of the bitch. I bred my Ch bitch Cammie at the age of 4 and the breeding didnt' take for the first two breedings but at the age of 5 she had her first and last litter of two. As they age, the conception rate is lower. I know a couple of reputable breeders that have bred several bitches for the first time at the age of 4 but as with anyone that breeds it's all about the health and well being of the bitch and health testing ect...
