Question
I am planning to Breed my female German Shepherd but am not quite sure of the age to breed her at. What is the ideal age, minimum, and maximum age to breed? Thank you so much!!

Answer
Hi Blondie
Two years old as the hips must be OFA certified before breeding and it must be 2 years old. U can of course spend money and have premlims done to see if any HD shows in them to breeder a bitch earlier if she is matured to do so?
Pick a stud dog that will cover her faults so the pups are even better than the bitch. I would not breed mine over 6 or 7 and let them retire in an adoption home for the life of Riley. They have earned that much.

Kind Regards
Patt
