Question
At what age should I stop breeding my female Chihuahua? She is currently 7 years old and I would like to breed her at least two more time.

Answer
Hi. You're not going to like my answer, but at 7 years of age, it's time to retire her. At this age and older, you have more of a chance to run into problems, mom may not be able to whelp naturally, and the pups may not be as healthy, or she may only have one puppy at a time causing the puppy to be really big, causing her problems with whelping. My best suggestion, have her fixed and enjoy her.
