Question
I have two Boston's one male and one female, and I'am getting ready to breed them for the first time; I was wondering if the female can have the puppies on her own or if she would have to have a sacerin? also, will she take care of her puppies? and are the pups born with short tails or do I have the tail clipped off? female is 11 months old and is it o.k. to breed her? Thank you very much for your time I know I have many questions..

Answer
Hello Amanda, Please don't breed this gal yet..... 11 months is too young for her, as she need to be 18 months or over.
She may need a C-Section, many of them do.... Please talk to you vet about this and do the Genetic testing on Mom and Dad before breeding.

BEST wishes,

Marie
