Question
What is the limit on age for a female dog to get pregnant,English Springer Spaniel. Female never was bred. Thanks

Answer
HI Linda. Well, if she's over 5 years old, and never had a litter before, then I wouldn't suggest breeding her now. If you did, you may end up with a c-section, or other problems. It's hard on an old girl's body to give birth when it never has before.
