No 12 months for a bitch Kenny mate

[Kenny Salmon Jnr 3]

i personally think its way to young.

[carp king 155]

Same bro at 12 months a bitch is a puppy mate simple

who gives a feck about KC rules? Any dog, of any type needs a minimum of 3 years to prove it is capable of doing the "job" it was created for. If it doesn't then its not worthy of breeding from. And a whippet needs to prove itself in the field over at least 3 seasons as an adult. Which in my book makes it 4

A bit of a loaded question your putting there,but why do you think it should be 24months? Surely its upto the owner,but 90% are breeding to make money anyway.

too true sir. Anybody asking that question is in it for the bucks. best off keeping fishing rods, not dogs

Money! money! money! No wonder the Kc has f****d so many breeds up.

Haha I think 24 months a dog is no longer a pup and at least have done something that is worth while , weather been working, showing or racing too many dogs going in rescue because of no respect for the breed mate, any muppet can buy a bitch with good paper work (hanging off names affixes that campaignd there dogs ) and profiting off there hard work.

Imo about three should be the youngest let its body develop

at 24 months its an un proven dog. and have done feck all worth while. to many dog in rescue because no idea of the time and effort involved. and no idea of what makes a good dog. Any muppet can get a dog to chase rabbits etc , but to know a good dog, worth breeding from takes a little more.

and if you have to ask the question in the first place, you are in the wrong game. so get fishing

I'm saying at least mate not a definite answer personally I agree the later the better not the earlier the better bro

if you think a dog is worth breeding from, after a couple of seasons full field testing, take the off season to pick that dog to bits. then the rest is up to your conscience and ego

[carp king 155]

I agree mate what I'm trying to say is a dog is a pup until 24 month old there are many racing champs jyst over 2 and uk champs just over too, working wise I think a good few seasons not the dogs first heat ..
