At what age can my westie have her first litter?

If your family members want a Westie, perhaps they should look into a Westie Rescue and look to rescue a Westie who NEEDS the help rather than breeding and adding to the population problem?

That would be the best option, in my opinion.

We do NOT think any less of you as a person, as you said you don't know all the facts and just came here for information. But in my honest opinion, you are breeding for all the wrong reasons. As I've already stated, if your family members want a Westie please save a life and rescue instead of breeding.

I want her to have one litter of pups and the thing is that I get 6 weeks holiday in the summer every year so I hope to be able to time it so that she has her pups in that time.
She is only 8 months old at present. What age will she be able to have pups??
Thanks

There are 105 westies listed on petfinder today alone, maybe your ppl would like to adopt as these dogs are in danger of dying.

Best thing you could do is spay your dog, having litters of puppies are all well and good until something goes wrong and you are face with a $2000 vets bill or losing your dog and the puppies. Westie do have a lot of problems birthing then you should run a full screen of tests before breeding add another 500 so it goes on .

Don't Litter adopt a shelter dog.

if she still breeds her dog after knowing there are this many homeless westies(a breed she wants to breed) that are in danger of peing killed, she's heartless.
