yes way too young stormy my parents had and bred springers and they were never bred from before they were 2 and a half sometimes a lot older as sometimes the bitch will not be mentally ready as they can be quiet hyper so tend to make better mothers when they are that bit older :thumbsup:

its not so much about how many seasons they have had as to the mental maturity of this breed as some do make better mothers when they have got that bit older :thumbsup:

no worries katie you probably did but springers are little hyper balls of energy and some just cope a bit better we found when the were that bit older its very much down to the individual dog though :thumbsup:

Hi,

I would say it is a bit young. If we say that 12 months if 7 dog years, then 17 months is around 10/11 years old. When mine has a litter, it will be when she is about 3, and that is about 21 dog years. So, yes, I do agree with your opinions and say wait a little while longer, about 1 human year or so.

Check out some of my posts,
