What I want to know is what is the regulations governing breeding bitches ie. min age, how often, how many litters etc ... Does it differ from state to state ???....thanks in advance :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simply Grand Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I don't know if it differs from state to state but you probably have to go the the state canine association websites for the actual guidelines rather than ANKC :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlaznHotAussies Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Dogswest 2.16 A member shall not breed with a bitch unless the bitch has reached adequate maturity for thatbreed as determined by the member’s Member Body.

I think they're assuming that a registered, ethical breeder isn't going to just go ahead and breed an aged dog. Maybe you should write to them if you're so worried about it There are also plenty of breeds that are middle-aged or at least not too old to have puppies at 8 years of age. Especially a dog that's made an excellent mother & is healthy. It would be a shame to cut off dogs any earlier even if they're perfectly healthy. (By plenty of breeds I'm thinking of smaller breeds and some medium sized breeds, I know an Aussie bitch who had a litter at 8 years old - very healthy girl and an excellent mother). You can't regulate every single decision a breeder makes. And a veterinary certificate means that a vet considers a dog fit to breed. Another note, breeding dogs can be a time-sensitive exercise. Sometimes you'll only have access to certain bloodlines that you want to mix with a certain bitch, by then it may mean she's a bit older...it's good that there is a way to get permission through a vet certificate if necessary.

sheena Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 WOW...thanks guys for all the info. A little bit of overload though...enough to pickle the brains of these teenagers that I am doing this for :laugh: If I hit them with all that, they would just go back to looking at their mobile phones, while I am talking So in the end, I just put " An ANKC Registered Breeder is bound by regulations set out by the State body of ANKC, restricting breeding practices including minimum age of the bitch, & how many times she can be bred from & how often" Sound simple ????
