i have 1yr old staffy bitch. what is the best age for her to have her 1st litter of pups. thanks in advance

In about another year .
Why is there such a fascination at the moment for breeding from very young Staffys :(
Not meant at you personally poster but it seems very common at the moment :(
Do not breed before 18 months at least and can I ask what are you reasons for breeding ?

no offence taken. i just want the best for her. i may not even breed from her as i would worry if the pups went to a good home etc.

Thats a big problem for the inexperienced Staffy breeder - ensuring that the pups do indeed go to a GOOD home . It is easy to find a home but staffys need to be homed in the right environment with the right owners as I'm sure you agree .

i do agree. she is my 1st staffy but to my advantage im quite a dominant person so pugs doesnt get away with much. she is spoilt rotten tho but not in a way that ruins her. for example every morn without fail she has a cup of tea but doesnt get it till shes sat down and quiet. im so glad ive got her and i love her to bits.

Everyone believes their dog is the best ( whether rightly or wrongly) but unfortunately its not a good enough reason for breeding . A lot of Staffys do end up in rescue because they are not for the inexperienced owner :(
