How old does a puppy hoave to be to have puppies?

A puppy can have puppies way too early, so protect her. Obviously your dog should not be an puppy herself.

Since we have taken over for selective breeding, you should really wait until you are able to test for genetic disorders.

OFA certifications for joints like the hips are done after 2 years old. Reputable breeders will not breed before this age or test.

There is a Canine Thyroid Epidemic. Before breeding you should really get this tested. It is not expensive to test for inherited thyroiditis. Your dog may have no symptoms and still pass on the trait. This is a horrible condition that causes dogs to really SUFFER. The recommendation for this test is NOT to breed before the age of 3.

We love our pups. There is wisdom for Dog Lovers.
