Most male canines shoulld be Able to sire offspring around 6 months. It is responible to wait until at least 1-2 years prior to using a male dog as a stud. Also, one should make sure that the dog has no conditions that may be hereditary. In the case of the Labrador Retriever having hips and elbows certified would be a starting place

∙ 15y agoThere is no set rule, but once your dog has reduced interest in female dogs in heat or starts having physical ailments (hip problems, Arthritis, etc.), you should stop. However, even a dog that is no longer used for breeding will make a terrific pet and companion--so be sure you give him a good life even after he stops breeding. (If for any reason you can't do that, your local pound or SPCA can typically place a Labrador retriever in a loving new home within a couple of days.)

∙ 15y agoLike all dogs, males can be bred at about 18 months and females at 2 years. There are hundreds of thousands of four legged reasons why you shouldn't breed a dog and they occupy shelters and rescue centers. Please dont breed your dog unless you can guarentee homes for the pups

Before you start! Jackass.
How about adopting a pet from a shelter instead of profiting off animals.

∙ 14y agoPlease consider spaying your dog. There are thousands of animals being euthanized every day due to over population. This includes many, many purebred dogs. Spaying will also lower your dogs chances of getting ovarian cancer. If that isn't enough, look up whelping. Is that really something you want to do?
If all that didn't convince you not to breed, then please at least make sure you get your dams hips, elbow, and eyes certified, as well as the sires. The is utterly no sense selling subpar dogs that will end up in a shelter at the first sign of blindness or joint problems. Unless of course you are truly so selfish for cash that you don't care your puppies go to good homes.
2-3 years old for both the sire and dam. The dam should be in her 3rd heat.
