Question
My shih-tzu is 1 and 1/2 years old.  Is this too young or is it ok.  Her vulva is swollen now about the 3rd day.  When do I introduce her to the male shih-tzu....he is 2.

Answer
Hi- Yes, breeding your shih-tzu is fine after 15 months or older...
It would be great till wait for 18 months if possible.
You should go over to our Breeding and Whelping experts... if you have any more questions about breeding.
BEST of luck
