 Re: Breeding Before 2 yrs of age
What other titles do your dogs have? Any working titles? obedience titles.
I know in Canada OVC also does elbows and hips at 18 months....but most good breeders want to title their dogs in something before they even think of breeding. That often makes the dog older than 24 months.
I also think the extra 6 months...between 18 to 24 months gives them a chanced to mature and grow some more, as well behavior and temperament problems, as well as physical problems may show up in those months. Half a year is not a long time to wait to breed.
