Elkie1 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Hello. Just a couple of questions regarding breeding as I don't seem to be able to find the info I need anywhere. 1. Is there a minimum age for a dog to sire a litter? 2. Are you still able to do Grandson to Grandmother? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stolzseinrotts Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 (edited) 1. Is there a minimum age for a dog to sire a litter? To answer this it will depend on the breed.There was a list of the breeds and the age requirements printed recently in the Victorian Gazette, I would assume it was printed in all of the Gazettes. 2. Are you still able to do Grandson to Grandmother? Yes you can. They do not approve Mother / Son, Father /Daughter matings. I have recently done a Half Brother / Half sister mating with no concerns of registration. Edited August 20, 2011 by Stolzseinrotts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancinbcs Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Hello. Just a couple of questions regarding breeding as I don't seem to be able to find the info I need anywhere. 1. Is there a minimum age for a dog to sire a litter? 2. Are you still able to do Grandson to Grandmother? Thanks in advance NSW has no minimum age for males but if they need to be hip scored then obviously this needs to be done after 12 months and before the dog is used. Historically, dogs were first used around 9-10 months. It is only in recent years that breeders seem to delay a first mating, leading to lots more problems with stud dogs needing more intervention to achieve matings. The new regulations do not mention grandparent to grandprogeny as being prohibited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
