First consider whether it is a responsible thing to do to bring more puppies into the world when shelters put hundreds to sleep every day. If you simply must have puppies, the youngest age at which it is fully safe for the mother is typically around 2 years old.

Having a pure bred dog does not mean you are qualified to breed. Numerous health tests should be done first to ensure the dog will not pass on defects.

Just like with any other breed of dog, you will know when they are in heat when she starts to bleed. This occurs, depending on the breed, every 6 to 8 months and can last up to 3 weeks at a time.
