It is important that you wait until the female is fully developed before you breed her or they may be some problems. It can be risky to breed a female before she is fully developed. Remember that some breeds may take up to two years to be fully developed, while smaller breeds may be ready to breed earlier.

One of the best ways to find out when the best time to breed is, is to talk to your vet. They may be able to do some exams and tests on your female to see if she is ready to breed and then to nurse puppies.
