a year old pup is not too young to breed, it all depends on the bitch, second heat is usually when we start breeding if the dog is finished, I have a bitch that I am breeding now, that did not get bred until her 3rd heat,her heat cycle is every 8 months, is up to the breeder to decide if her bitch is up to the job, so like almost everything in breeding is NOT written in stone, first heat is a NO,NO, and beleieve me I know of many breeds at first heat, would I personally do it, NO. also Gina your stud might not be interested because HE is confused, too many females in heat, that male needs to be out of that room for at least 24 hrs,then bring the bitch to him, and assist in the breeding. if she is out of her heat, then consider this for next time, if you are planing on breeding next time, I will also suggest that if you don't breed the chi's to get them spayed, having too many females in heat is making your boy crazy... with hormones..
