With your experience how old is too old to breed a dog? Have you ever bred a dog that was half blind?

Dear Ed and Cindy,

I have recently purchased your AI kit and video and found it to be very informational. I can really appreciate one breeder wanting to assist another breeders program. We're a small kennel breeding rottweilers and I have one female that doesn't take a liking to the mounting portion of mating. Hopefully, the AI kit will allow us to produce a litter with her.

We will be conducting our 1st AI within the next few weeks. Fingers crossed!!!

I was just curious though, with your experience how old is too old to breed a dog? Do you find anything wrong with breeding a dog that has a good temperament and conformation that is 8 yrs old?

Our stud is 8 yrs old and he is starting to show some signs off old age such as grey hairs.

One other question, have you ever bred a dog that was half blind? I know of someone thinking about breeding their female that is 7 yrs old but they believe that she is blind in one eye.

Deborah
