then that breeder needs their head examined as they should know that a male will not be ready to produce a litter until 12 months. There are some dogs that can produce before this age but it is best to wait until the reproduction system in male is completely ready first. If you say or know a breeder that uses dogs under 12months it can cause problems. More so in bitches under 12months but can happen to males to. The KC will also advise you that the dog should be 12months before being studed.
