  1. 6 to 8 months but don't breed them at that young age.


  2. No you're not suppossed to breed in the second heat.  You're suppossed to breed when she is 2 years old.. AFTER she's had genetic health tests.

    Dogs first heat cycle is on average between 6 months to a year.  Some dogs start as early as 4 months, and some may not have their first heat until about 18 months.

  3. Between 6 and 12 months of age, though normally more towards 6 months

  4. you should breed after shes over 2 years old.

  5. 6-9 months.  who ever told u the second heat is smoking something or somebody who doesnt care about animals. please wait until she is atleast two years old!

  6. at 6 months of age and then  every 6 months. pregnancy usually lasts 8 weeks.

  7. It depends on her breed. It should be around 6-9mos. Some breeds like Labs can take as long as 2 years! This is unusual though.

  8. Hi Red,

      Some females start their first heat as early as 9 months and then it will be another 6 months before her second heat.So you are looking at 15 months to be able to breed her,but i would wait until she is at least 2 years old. She will be older for one and well be willing and able to take care of her puppies.You breed her in her second week of her cycle.Always take the female to the male and leave her there at least 5 days to be sure she takes My Friend. What ever you do please do not over breed her like a lot of breeders and people do.This is very hard on mom and why should you keep putting an animal through having puppies over and over again.

    Your Friend,

  9. About 6 months of age is around their first heat but you should not breed her until she is at least two years old.  It is unhealthy and could result in the death of your dog, the puppies, or both.  Their reproductive systems are not fully developed until they are two years old.

  10. A do?

    I'm lost....
