Question
I have a Cavoodle puppy almost 1 year old, and I am wanting to breed her for the first time. What age is best for this to start, as we have a friend with a male Cavoodle ready to do the job...

Answer
Hi. You need to let her finish growing before you breed her. At 1 year old, she's still a puppy herself. She needs to finish growing before she takes on the task of growing puppies herself. I'd wait until at least two years of age. This gives her plenty of time, and she'll be at the age where you can have her health testing done. good luck!
