I want to breed my 9 month old female. What are the dangers of breeding at this age?
Full Question:
I have a 8-9 month old 45 pound Australian cattle dog-mini bull terrier mix she is in heat. I want to breed her now at her first heat cycle to a 50 pound male chocolate American pit bull terrier. Both dogs are good protection dogs and guard dogs-good pray drive etc....Iam trying to make a designer attack/Protection dog called a "BULL HEELER " should I breed my dog at this age....what are the dangers of breeding at this age? 
Cindy's Answer:
This is truly a very bad idea. No, it’s a terrible idea.
Nine month old females are not mature enough mentally or physically to care for and deal with a litter of pups. Wait until the female is 18 to 24 months old.
Should you choose to ignore this advice – please think of me when this bitch abandons her litter or worse – kills the puppies.
