I think every situation is individual, but generally, I would suggest breed twice, rest once. In all cases though, the female should be in tip top health. I would never breed a C-section again so I can't really comment on that, but would definitely not do two in a row in that situation.
Hypothetically, in the case of one heat cycle per year, I would probably breed every heat cycle.
There is a medical health reasoning behind breeding every heat cycle, but would not recommend it for most and I have never done it (but have considered it). The reasoning is that every time a female goes into heat without being bred she risks developing pyometra so some feel they should be bred every heat, but the reputable breeders who do this stop breeding much younger and spay earlier than those that do 2 on/1 or 2 off. |
