Guys I have a question for people that know about the AKC rules. My bitch just had a litter of pups on Wednesday Oct. 29th. I had 6 pups pre-sold and 3 people on a waiting list. I also was planning to keep a pup out of this litter as well. Wouldn't you know it she only had 5 pups! Long story short I gave up my pick, had to return one person's deposit, and had to tell 3 other potential buyers that I did not have a pup for them. It is killing me. I love to make families happy with great puppies and now I had to disappoint many families. I did give them other trusted breeders names but it still bothers me.
Now my question I typically breed my females every other year but because of the small litter and still not getting a pup for myself I am thinking to breed her again next year. Does anyone know what types of rules AKC has for how often a bitch can be bred? I know there are age restrictions but I can't find anything about how long between litters and if they have suggestions or rules for this type of question.
