Answer #1

24 months…when the dog is mature is the correct age for breeding. It sounds like you might too late, if you’re asking if it’s safe at 1 year. No…it’s not the safest age…at one year a German Shepherd is very much still a puppy…they are late bloomers, and don’t mature until 24 to 36 months.

Hopefully, you’ll get Vet involved if you plan on letting her carry out this pregnancy.

Answer #2

There are varying opinions on this, but the norm seems to be after the second or third cycle, or not before two years of age.

However, with such a high rate of homeless puppies and dogs in the world, I would strongly advise that you have your female spayed and forgo any possibility of breeding.
