Reproduce

Question
I have a five and a half old puppy can he reproduce

Answer
The answer to that is... unknown. While the American Kennel Club will not accept a sire that is younger than seven months old, a 5-6 month old puppy will often be interested in bitches in heat and will try to mount them. The real question is... are they shooting blanks or do they have real "ammo" at that young age? Nature being what it is, anything is possible.

I would keep a male puppy separate from any in-season bitch at that age just to be on the safe side.
