How soon can you breed after the first litter?

I'm concerned about the way you asked this question. Caring and responsible owners will only allow the female one whelping or litter per year. I believe more is mill breeding.

You should let the female go through at least one season (heat) without breeding her. Her body needs to heal and she needs to get strong again. "Puppy mill" is the term for a breeder who breeds a dog every time she comes into heat, which makes the dog old before her time and causes all kinds of health problems.
