Chenery 6 years old can still be born Chenery how old can not be born

Can a schnauzer still give birth at 6 years old? Shelties can have babies until they are 8 years old, but beyond that age the conception rate decreases and you cannot expect to have a completely healthy Sheltie puppy. Dogs can be conceived and have litters before the age of 6. However, childbirth itself can be life-threatening for a small female dog. It is best to take your dog to be spayed if you do not want her to give birth.
