| I have not experienced this myself but I know a breeder that lives near me that bred her male when he was only 7 months. She said it was a complete accident, but it did happen and the dam had puppies. |

| I would be careful breeding a stud too young...even if he's fertile the puppies he produces may be bigger or have health problems. I can give you several examples... |

| All 3 studs I use are over 2 years old. I have a lil guy Roscoe I cant wait to use. BUT he is too hyper yet at over a year. So waiting for him awhile. Even holding them during the tie I would worry to much about injuries.

| Not only all this but the sperm is very immature at a young age and could cause deformed babies. |

| age Ideally, I like between 11 and 13 months for the first time...then skip a month and breed again, skip a month and breed again..that ususally starts them off with no problems..and I use a seasoned bitch to start. |

| One thought.. the AKC will not register puppies from a stud younger than 9 months at breeding..

| yes, Ceeby is one of my studs. I bred him to a female when HE was nine months old. I also used flea medicine on my female per vet advice. i know now not to do that again. And yes, I hah two puppies but one was born dead and also deformed. Vet said it couldn't have been flea medicine but possibly because of Ceeby's age. Could have been either. |

Now, my sister-in-law had a 6 month old male poodle that impregnated a female and she had puppies. My SIL was able to prove it and she was able to register the litter. That was many years ago. Once about 5 years ago I used a male that was about 10 months old and he sired a litter with no problem. My recommendation today is to wait until the male is at least a year old or older. Much of the age depends on the male. Some males become sexually mature earlier than others. Sometimes they may be able to tie the female but they might not have active sperm yet. | |
