Too young is anything under 1 1/2 years or the third heat. 1 year old is hardly out of puppy hood yet. With some dogs, especially smaller breeds, it would be wise to wait until 2 years old or the fourth heat. This is for the safety of the dog. Smaller dogs have a higher risk of complications so you must be more cautious with them. Because of this, if you want to start breeding, it is not wise to start with a small breed. Get a medium largish sized dog such as a Golden Retriever, Labrador Retriever, Siberian Husky, German Shepard, etc until you are more familiar with the breeding process and better able to handle situations. If you have breeding/pregnancy/whelping questions, email me at stanishas@aol.com Bye! Tanisha

No they do not have to b atleast a year my chiuhua had her babies @ age of 11 months we she had her 1st litter and they came out fine and so did she, she ended up having 5 babies and then another litter when she was 1 1/2 old and she had 6 babies and she did fine on that one too and her babies were all healthy but i do reccomend to wait until they are older to breed, ours happened by mistake w/ our boy chiuhua.
