Hi guys. I'd like to ask YT breeders a few questions if I may. I don't want to elaborate right now as to why I'm asking, but could use some input from those experienced and reputable and would greatly appreciate it. I do not know anything about breeding, so please excuse the ignorance in some of my questions. Here it goes; 1. What age should the female be before she is first bred? Is it normal to breed a female at around 16 months? 2. How many cycles a year does she have? 3. Would it be in your eyes alright to breed your female every other cycle and stop after she produces four litters? Would you consider this excess breeding, the norm. or not bred much at all? AND, 3. Have you ever given someone a free or reduced female for breeding rights, in which the female keeps one pup and the rest of the pups are given to the person that gave you the female? 4. Also, how tough is it for the mom? Does she have a tough time each time her pups are taken and are their a lot of medical risks involved with breeding a female another words after her breeding is all said and done - are they at higher risks for say cancer or something else? And, lastly does this change her pet quality in any way? Thanks again for any input you can give me. Elaine
