At what age can a dog get pregnant?

It’s best not to breed your dog until she is on her second or third cycle. This can be very different depending on the dog. Even though most dogs can get pregnant between six and twelve months, this doesn’t mean that it’s best for the dog. The dog must be matured before getting pregnant and breeding, as it can lead to some behavioral or physical problems. Your dog should have a chance to grow up. It also helps to know what kind of inherited or genetic disorders your dog has and you won’t know this until after some time has passed with regular visits to the veterinarian. 

For most dogs, however, 2 years of age is the safe minimum.
