B.P.R 2,798 Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Youve only just got one of the dogs and planning to breed from her before shes proved herself? Theyre both litter sisters right? So wouldnt you be best finding out which ones the better dog and breeding from her? Both got the same blood running through them. Are you keeping one?

If your bitch has her 1st season at 8 months and her 2nd at 14 months...this is when your vet recommends bredding her??? It's still a pup FFS and has to mature !!!

salt fish 67 Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 P.S she will be lucky to see her first season the noisy little ba****d :laugh: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RossM 8,119 Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 What are you looking to use over her? What would you be aiming for to achieve from breeding? More height? Better coat? Better staying? Better feet? more speed? Would you be breeding for yourself or have you got "buyers" lined up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulus 26 Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 my bitch was 8 before she had a litter, a dog out of that litter has just sired another litter aged 5 his sire was also 5 when he sired him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moonlighter 1,163 Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 If your not planning to breed for another 3 years, why are you asking today? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
