How old is too old to breed a cockapoo who's 9 years old and has never been bred?  I say she's too old and so does the vet, but my kids want her to have a litter......

I think that is to old. She could die having her pups or struggle tremendously. I think you should just get a cockapoo pup or get an 2-3 year old girl to breed.

DO NOT BREED!!!!!!!!!!! If you breed your 9 yr old then there is a good chance she will have stillbirths, or she will die from stress. And i dont think that your kids will be so happy about that!!! PLEASE, Its irresponsible . leave it to the breeders of cockapoos thaat are experienced and know what they are  doing. Hey, im just giving you VERY good advice. Your kids will also hate it more if the mom dies and the puppies die too. If you want to breed a dog, leave it to the pros. please. It is better to just get a puppy if you want a new dog. Remember, if your cockapoo is healthy, she can live to be 18. If you want a new cockapoo, get a pup. It is also hard to fing homes for the puppies if there are more than one. PLEASE DONT BREED!!!!!!!!! I BEG YOU!!!!!! thanks. its the right thing to do, Hope you make the right choice, Charlotte
