apache Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Yes. In the wild they would have bred twice that often! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apache Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 I'm not saying for a second that I agree with puppy farming, merely answering your question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sco77w Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 IIRC the KC won't register litters born when the Dam is over 5 years old tho. Make of that what you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greymaster Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Yes. In the wild they would have bred twice that often! In the wild, what is the average lifespan of the bitch? BTW, dogs have been domesticated for around 15,000 years, so which wild (gundogs) are you referring to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadSpringer Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) IIRC the KC won't register litters born when the Dam is over 5 years old tho. Make of that what you will. The KC will not register litters if the Dam is 8 or older at the time of whelping. Info here KC Info Cheers Edited October 26, 2011 by MadSpringer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
