Question
How old is too old to breed my female rottweiler?  She is 6 yrs old now.

Answer
Hi Eric

That depends, is she in excellent shape? Physically fit and mentally stable?  If the answer is yes, then she should be fine.  Remember it will for harder for her to whelp so make sure she doesn't put on too much weight and her litter may be smaller as her eggs age.

Good luck.
