Question I have a 5 year old pug who has never been bred. She is starting to get quite aggressive with our other two dogs (both poodles). We are wondering if letting her have a litter of pups might calm her down. Is 5 years old too old for a first (and only) litter. We love her so much and are being encouraged by other family members to bred her so they can have one of her pups. We just want to do what is right by her - Thank you so much for your input.
Answer Five years old is not too old to be bred but keep in mind you may lose her in the process. I would recommend that you get her spayed as soon as possible. Pugs can die very easily giving birth and even if she does give birth successfully, there is no guarentee that any puppies will survive.
