When is the time to breed a German Shepherd? The earliest time you can breed a German Shepherd is when it is in estrus 14 or 15 months after birth; however, it is more recommended to breed the German Shepherd when it is about two years old, because the German Shepherd is strong at this time. Stronger, the risk of pregnancy is less and the quality of the offspring will be better.

A German Shepherd female will have her first estrus approximately 6-9 months after birth. She can become pregnant at this time, but it is not recommended to breed a German Shepherd at this time. Because the various organs of the German Shepherd's body are not fully developed at this time, it is dangerous for it to get pregnant and have babies at this time.

If you want to breed a German Shepherd as early as possible, you can choose to breed it when it is 14 or 15 months old, when the German Shepherd's body is basically fully developed. Adult German Shepherd dogs will have estrus once every spring and autumn, that is, around March-May and September-November. During this period, German Shepherd dogs can be bred.

However, breeding German Shepherds when they have just reached adulthood is still harmful to the dog's health, because the dog's body has not yet completely stabilized. Therefore, it is better to wait until the dog is two years old before breeding. The dog at this time is strong and strong, the risk of pregnancy is low, and the quality of the offspring will be better.

The specific breeding time can be calculated based on the estrus time. The menstrual period, that is, the bleeding period of a German Shepherd, lasts about fourteen days. The bleeding will start a little at first, then increase, and then slowly decrease. The best time for mating is at the end of the menstrual period. Ovulation begins around the fourteenth or fifteenth day. This time is very suitable for mating.
