Is my dog too young to breed on her second heat? What care is best?

Question

Hi.. Im planning to get Mini mated on her next heat which will be her 2nd heat.. What precautions and care should I take about her health before I get her mated? Also is it okay if I get it done on her 2nd heat or is it too soon? Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Female | unspayed | 11 months and 10 days old

It is best to wait to breed any dog until they are 18-24 months of age. I think she is too young and you should wait. Here is more information about breeding dogs. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
