Question
I have jack russell terrier and have bred her 4 times, she is 7 now and in in very good health. My question is, is she to old to breed one more time.I bred her at least a yr between litters..
           thanks cori

Answer
HI CORI
IF SHE HAS NOT HEALTHY ISSUES, NO WHELPING PROBLEMS SHE CAN BE USED ANOTHER TIME OR SO.
GILLIONS MOM WAS NINE WHEN SHE HAD FOUR ONE WAS HER.  SHE IS NOT GOING TO BE A LARGE SHEPHERD BECAUSE OF THE MOTHERS AGE.  IT CAN EFFECT THE PUPS, SO BE CAREFUL.
