Mating mixed dogs

Question
I have an australian shepherd/pit bull mix. She is a 1.5 years old and I am thinking about mating her with a pit bull. My 2 questions are. 1. Do you think these 2 dogs will match well and 2. at what age should I mate my dog?

Thank you

Answer
I honestly don't have a clue how these breeds will do together. You may need to find someone who is experienced with the australian shepherd, and find out what traits the breed has. As for what age to start breeding a dog, I always say atleast 2 years of age. This allows the dog to finish growing. Good luck!
