Is my 8 year old female golden retriver to breed?
The American Kennel Club (AKC) recommends that Golden Retrievers be bred between the ages of 2 and 5. Breeding a dog before the age of 2 can lead to health problems and complications during pregnancy and birth. Breeding a dog after the age of 5 can also increase the risk of health problems. Additionally, it's important to consider the temperament and health of both the male and female dogs before breeding.
