It would be like your granny having children - huge risk and strain on her. The only problem is that unlike humans who have the menopause, dogs still have seasons into old age. But this doesn't mean that they should be bred from. Although the maximum age according to the kennel club is 8, I wouldn't consider breeding a first litter once the bitch has reaches 5, and preferably would be around 2.5 - 3 years old.

Haha, my granny is 94 :-D :-D lol

Thanks everyone, no chance Ill risk anything. Thank you all for saving me n my baby!

that made me lol

I agree with what has been said, she is too old

Just one point you may want to consider is that a 9 year old unspeyed bitch is at great risk of cancer and pyo and a reduced lifespan.
As you have now come to the decision not to breed speying may be a good gift to keep her with you for as long as possible

eek: Oh my so glad I put this on here, thanks peppapug. Didn't realise, will look into it straight away. Will the operation affect her anyway by me waiting so long?

Ditto that.
Too many risks with breeding after the age of 8.
Just keep her as your little baby xxx
