To what age can i stud my German Shepherd out??

Question

I am wondering at what age does a male dog need to stop fathering pups.

Answer 1

Technically, as long as their sperm still looks good they can keep going.  It is recommended to have a dog collected and his sperm analyzed by your repro vet.

As dogs age, so does their sperm (kinked tails, heads without tails, dead sperm, etc.) so many breeders will collect and freeze sperm when their studs are between 2-3 years old when -on average- sperm is at it's best!

Answer 2

Answer 3

When they become too dependent on him.

Answer 4

There is no age for males.

As long as the sperm is plentiful and active the stud can be used.

Females should not be used past a certain age.
