k question for u WHY do you want to breed?
to better the breed? fine if she is what judges would call a good exp. of her breed.
to make money? no breed should make money from litters of pups. there are to many things u need to pay for.
u need to have health tests done on ur dog and be sure to see that the mate has theirs done. u need to have money for vet visits if u have a female…then u need to take all them pups to the vet for shots and so forth.
it is a good idea to have ppl lined up to get ur pups before the birth.
with that said females should not be bred until they are at very least 2 years old.
the best thing to do really gets her or him fixed…why breed when millions die every year in shelters?
Answer by Kristina
I would say about when she is 2 years old. it's probably best. that way it has less stress on its body. it is at that stage where it is basically done growing and isn't an old tired dog. the worst thing u can do is breed her too early because serious complications can occur its the same as a 14-year-old girl having a kid. u also don't want to breed them at age 7-how ever old.
so I say best time is 1-4 years of age

If you're not a licensed breeder, then you shouldn't breed any dog.
If you're aware of hip screening and genetic testing and your dog is registered with the AKC and is titled Champion – then you would want to breed no earlier than the 4th heat cycle or roughly 2 years of age.
But…. since you're asking this question here…. the answer for you is never. Have your b*tch spayed before her first cycle?

So says the snobbish professional breeders who just want to keep their babies to themselves and inbreed them and sell their sick and disabled puppies for thousands to poor mugs who buy them.

The answer is never. If you have to be on this list to ask questions, then you are obviously not a responsible breeder. Be a responsible dog owner and get your baby spayed, and she will just love your for it and you will all be way happier for it. Don't put your baby through that when you are not willing to pay for all the genetic testing it takes to be a responsible breeder. Just love your dog and get her spayed.

You should really get another papillon to do that.
