I got to wondering today. I know that many breeders retire their queens & find them new homes....in some cases around 2-3 years of age.
At what age should the queen be before she is bred?
At what age is the queen "too old" to be bred?
I guess I know one Lab breeder that waits until the Lab is 2 years old & certified before breeding. They then breed her only once a year & always spay the Lab when she is 6 years old.
Now, are their any "certifications" to go through? (like Labs get OFAs, etc)
Thanks for answering my questions. This is just for my own curiosity.
