Question
dear paula
what is proper age to start breeding dobermans, both male and female.

Answer
The appropriate age to start breeding anydog is after 24 months or 2 years old. More importantly, when all of their health testing is completed. Dobermans have many genetic diseases that can be passed down to the puppies if the sire and the dam are carriers of that gene out of the disease. Before you consider breeding do the health testing and ensure that your dogs fit the written standard for the breed. Hope this answers torr question. Good luck
