breeding bull dogs

Question
My english bull dog is four years old, is she too old to breed?  If not how should I go about finding a male to breed her with?

Answer
In my opinion, yes, she's too old to start breeding her now. The older she gets, the more risky anesthesia becomes. C-sections are very risky because your dog will lose a great deal of blood in the process, making recovery that much more difficult.

If I were you, I'd have her spayed and love her forever.
