Male dogs typically reach sexual maturity and become fertile between six to twelve months old, but this can vary depending on breed and individual factors.
Even if a six-month-old dog is physically capable of mating, it's important to remember that:
* He may not be emotionally or mentally ready for fatherhood.
* It's generally recommended to wait until a dog is at least a year old before breeding. This gives the dog time to fully develop and mature both physically and mentally.
It's crucial to consult a veterinarian for advice on the best time to breed your dog.
