Alot would depend on her condition. Maiden at 7 probably but would do
progesterone tests
just in case.

When was her last litter born. I'd worry about scar tissue being a problem. Any
problems whelping!
A 7yr old bitch who has had one natural breeding and one litter of 6 pups
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've seen several bitches bred within those time frames with success.
Personally I probably would but that's me
A 7-9 yr old bitch with 2 previous litters under her belt. Natural breeding
and/or AI.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No 8 would be my cutoff no matter what.
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?

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?
