QuestionI have a twelve year old toy poodle who has never been bred by my choice. She still comes into heat. I have a breeder asking if I would let her have pups, but I am afraid she is to old.
AnswerHi Alice :-)
I wouldn't breed your dog at this age hun. In her years she is practically a pensioner and giving birth or carrying puppies may put a strain on her Heart and her physical health.
You have made the right decision by thinking this through carefully. A breeder who wants to breed a dog who is 12 years old is one I would stay clear off.
She is in her twilight years now and needs to take it easy.
Take care and all the best.
