Sister is thinking Can she breed her Yorkie she is 8 1/2 years old. Hey all My sister is thinking can she breed her dog at this age? |
Even if the dog has welped before 8.5 is too old. My question is why would she want to? |
I agree, too old. |
How many litters has she had? |
I think that would be way to much stress on her at that age. Hugs Cheryl & Lexi |

is NO way that girl should be bred under any circumstances. VERY high risk of loosing her and the litter. Please let her know is a BIG NO NO. hugs, Carmen in nj |

I won't say "old" because I don't want to be called old but she is over age for that now. So definately not, all dogs should be retired at 5. Too much stress even if they have welped before! |
Also to add, she needs to be spayed asap anyway to avoid getting mammary tumors and ovarian cancer and other cancers due to her not being spayed. Those diseases are pretty much totally prevented if spayed beforehand. |

And I agree with everyone, she is too old to be used for breeding. |
Just have her do the math - for every 1 year of life she is multiply that by 7 to give what it would be in people age. 7 x 8.5 = 59.5 years old. If I ever get pregnant at almost 60 - I think I would die!! |
Way too old!!:( |
Well....your sister is wrong. Of course, physically, she probably CAN breed her, but it would be very unwise to do so. Dangerous for the female and not something that respectable breeders do. |
I have to agree with everyone else, and say she is past her prime, I would defiantely be too concerned for her and her health. |
Besides stating the obvious age issue again; I think my first question would be why does she want to? |
