| You have not given enough information...age is only one aspect I take into consideration when breeding a bitch... Tell me about your bitch, size, pedigree, frame, stud, her health background, what are your goals...just one of a dozen things I can think of right now..... |

| She is 3.2kg, 21cm tall, 32cm long from neck to end, shes got quite strong bones/body, she is very healthy and thats her 2nd period. She is very energetic, loves to run,play. The stud dog is mine too, hes the same size as the bitch, but he is the slim type, with thin bones, he is only 2.8kg and he is 20months old. He had 4pups from his 1st litter, all very healthy. Thats all so far |

what about the sizes of the parents and grandparents? what is the health background like on the lines; any testing done? did they all free whelp or have any sections been needed... so is she over her 2nd Heat or is this the one you want to breed her on? has her pelvis been examined by a vet who knows what to specifically look for? with my girls my usual vet wasnt sure, and he told me this upfront and sent us to a different vet to have it checked... also, do you have a good enough relationship with your vet to have an open conversation with about this- do they know any breed specific info? and what are your intentions for breeding? this is an important one! i know it sounds like we are interigating you, but having all this information written in one place will help you with your decision... and it is your girls life that could be at risk from breeding her too early or if she isnt suitable... even if she is there are still so many risks involved! you Must remember that as many don't seem to.

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | That is why I said "I" wouldn't breed anything under 18months. At that age to me nothing other to consider. When they reach 18 months there are many things I consider other than age.

| You have been given good advise...are you in the UK...if not please disreguard the rest of my post... I lived there and my father was a breeder...it would be best to make contact with good breeders in your area. I know this is a controversal subject..but I would breed at 16 to 18 with an English type bitch...15 is a bit too young. Good luck. |

| Nothing abnormal. You and I and others have discussed this before. Rule of thumb is not before eighteen months or 2nd heat, which ever comes first. However, there are other things that come into play when making the decision of to breed or not to breed.
