Women have children years after years with no rest...Many german and American breeders and vets say to breed the bitch who is in excellent condition with proper diet , which is the KEY WORD,, every heat until she is 6 years old..Starting at 24 mos old (Two) that really is not a very long time..If the bitch is not in super condition, then ought not be done..

Healthy bitches need nothing but good nutrition to get back to the right productive issue..Excercise and healthy living will let that bitch produce with no problems...If you have a reproductive problem , that bitch shouldn't be used for breeding in the first place.

Here in Australia the Canine Council says that we can breed our bitches once each year or twice in 18 months then she has to have a break of 12 months. If you breed your bitches out of these guidelines then the litter will not be registered. Although I have heard of breeders who have paid a penalty and then the litter has been registered, like everything I guess it is about who you are.

This is not only for GSD's but all breeds.

dogshome9: I like that system , it is fair and is a good time frame for breeding. AKC will never make such a rule. It would take a $$$$ out of their pockets.!!!

I am all for this ruling also, why would anyone want to breed their bitch any more than that unless it was all about the $$$$$ ?

Males cannot be bred before 18 months and all GSD's have to provide proof of hip and elbow results and cannot be registered without the documentation.

I may be wrong on this, I think Australia has these heavy restrictions due to the fact they are trying to keep down the population of outside things that can cause them to lose the natural balance of nature in the habitat.Like they want to keep balance with things like their marsupials, birds,sloths the flora and fauna so on and so on.What do you think could that be part of the reasons for the restrictions? Just a thought!

by dogshome9 on 25 January 2009 - 11:01

wazzup, you are right in part of what you say, here we do have wildlife corriodores where we are restricted about how many dogs one can have but in general that is not so.

Going back quite a few years up until the early nineteen eighties GSD's were not allowed into some states and certain rural areas of Australia because it was believed that they would breed with the Dingos making a super strong hybrid Dingo and the farmers were already losing far too many sheep the the pure Dingos. At this time it was very difficult to import new bloodlines into the counrty due to these regulations but over the years these regulations were relaxed and now we are able to take our GSD's anywhere within Australia.

But seeing they hang around for 18 years instead of 8 weeks I'll pass!

If you have more than 1 female what is the need to breed them all back to back? I have not had a litter for over 2 years, and I only now have 2 females that will not be bred back to back. I feel that they do need a break to replenish their body/system. It can take a big toll on their body/system if you keep breeding back to back without a break in between. JMHO.
People have the choice if they want to keep having babies without a break, and they also have a lot more on the market to help them replenish their body etc. The dog's don't have that choice if they want to breed back to back or if they decide to skip a heat cycle. We just take that action on ourselves. Don't quote me on this, but I believe wolves in the wild don't even breed back to back. I think they only breed once a year. Every April/May I think.

Wolves only cycle once a year, so that's back to back, but not all pack members mate.
