I did actually check with ytca first under their code of ethics, but it says the following - this statement is very vague.

3) Healthy spacing between litters will be a priority and unspayed bitches will be protected from unplanned matings. Bitches will in no case be bred before their second heat or before they are at least 18 months of age, whichever comes first, nor be placed at risk by an unreasonable number of cesarean sections and then only with the concurrence of a veterinarian.

Something to think about - even the most experienced breeders go to a vet for advice or a c-section.
