We have a male that is about 1 1/2 years and a female that is less than 6 months and still too young. How old do they need to be before she is ready? Also, I’ve read a lot about the females having a hard time with delivery. Anyone know?
BOTH dogs need to be at least 2 years of age.
Both should be shown and earn their CH title to proove that they fit the breed standard. This is to also evaluate your dog’s faults and strong points.
Find yourself a mentor while showing too. Your mentor can help you do research on breeding, mating, whelping, puppy rearing, genetics.. as well as help you research the breed, health problems.. and to study your dog’s pedigrees for faults, health problems and temperment issues.
When your dogs are 2 years old, get their health tests, OFA, CERF, BAER, Optigen, etc.. both should also be tested for brucellosis.
Save up some money and develop a good relationship with your vet.. you will need it! Breeding is not cheap.
When your dogs are both 2 years old, titled and tested, and you’ve done your research.. you get both examined by the vet. Your mentor can help you decide if the 2 dogs you have would be a good breeding pair, or if there’s another stud that would be better suited for your female. If your dogs share the same fault, it would be better to seek another male.. someone else may be interested in using your dog as a stud tho.
If you’re not going to take the time, money or effort to do all the showing, testing, and research.. then please get your dogs spayed and neutered. Not doing things responsibly puts your dog’s life and safety at risk. Breeding should also be done to improove and preserve the breed. If you are not striving to create the best, then you are only adding to the over population problem.
Yes small dogs do often have problems delivering pups, and do typically need cecarians.. which is why its important to research, do health tests, save money, and get to know your vet!

Please don’t breed your dogs. If you have to ask these questions, you obviously have not researched the procedure OR the breed enough to do so.

Please do not breed your dogs right now – there is a lot of time and research that goes into breeding dogs, and if you are asking on YA you have not done your research.
Show your dogs to a champion title
Get a mentor in the breed who can help you
make sure your dogs are certified healthy
Female Bostons have an incredibly hard time with delivery, due to the dog’s small size and the puppies large heads. they typically have to have C sections, and many females do not survive a pregnancy/birth process.
Any dogs ready for breeding need to be at least 2 years old – no sooner.
