Ok, the boys can breed as long as the sperm is plentiful and viable.  But, what 
would be the latest age you all would breed a bitch?  Afterall, they are the 
ones that have to do all the work :-)  

Do not consider titles or the like.  This is a generic bitch, who may or may 
not be shown, doing performance or whatever.  She is of an excellent pedigree 
and OFA'd and healthy. 

Some scenarios:

A maiden bitch, 7yrs old.  

A 7yr old bitch who has had one natural breeding and one litter of 6 pups.

A 7-9 yr old bitch with 2 previous litters under her belt.  Natural breeding 
and/or AI.

In all these cases, it would be the last breeding and the pups are already 
spoken for.  

Would you breed any of these bitches?  Would you ever breed a bitch older than 
9yrs old?  If not, what would be the maximum age you would consider breeding 
your bitch?
