Just because I’m this nosey...
I don’t breed, but would eventually like to. I already have my own game plan on how to generally go about it. Will start breeding dams at 2 years old, at least a year between each litter, retire breeding at 5 years old, no more than 3-4 litters each.
My friend is currently breeding, and says she’s giving her dam breaks between litters (has had two so far), but between those and when she plans to breed again it’ll be 5 months between each of them. I was under the impression that best practice is to have at least a 9 month buffer for Dam to heal and get her hormones back in balance. What say you?
ps- have only ever done research on brachycephalic breeds and hers are a working breed
