Wales1234 5,483 Posted July 19 Report Share Posted July 19 How old is the oldest you’d breed a bitch for the first time , Iv a bitch here now she’s 7 next months , she’s currently in season but I want to wait till her next season ideally so be April time , just so I don’t lose her for the start of this season she’s been a good day time bitch , big , strong , robust , and knows how to kill , don’t think she’s really missed any time through injury even with the harsh ground she runs on , been keeping a eye out for a stud dog aswell 8 Quote Link to post
Borr 5,282 Posted July 19 Report Share Posted July 19 Missus wanted a pup out of my bitch but I'm not gonna risk her mines 8 this yr plus I still ain't got time to work dogs lol. If I was gonna breed her I'd have a bone man check her out make sure pelvis etc is likely to be supple enough etc but you know more than I mate just my tuppence... Quote Link to post
chartpolski 22,405 Posted July 19 Report Share Posted July 19 I never bred from my last two bitches because I didn’t want to miss a season of work. I regret it now as they were both worthy of breeding from . Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post

Daniel cain 44,410 Posted July 19 Report Share Posted July 19 Ive personally found if they older than 5/6 then theres normally problems....put some money away for a c-section, would be my advice... Last bitch was 9,11 died inside her,3 alive,knocked the weakest on the head at 3 days,it was f****d,wasnt fair...ended up with 1 dog,1 bitch... If I ever bred another litter then id use a bitch,no older than 3/4..your bitch ,your choice 3 Quote Link to post

Waited till they was 6/7 yr old...then they was too old and knackered ,dog and bitch passed their prime...if I had my time again...then 2 seasons,and I would take my chances,as nothings ever garenteed 4 Quote Link to post
