Do female animals particularly dogs ever reach an age where they can no longer have a litter of pups?

If so at what age does this occur roughly. Does this also happen to animals like elephants, birds and turtles that have a very long life expectancy? I would imagine giving birth would be harder on an older animal but I want to know if it is physically possible.

Yes, it depends on breed of dog but generally speaking their fertility declines anywhere from 3 to 8. They can have them when they are older, but regular heats are not so common. Our cocker female was 12 when we rescued her, when into heat a week later.

Often you will find the puppy mill breeding females are dumped in shelters or just thrown out on the street if they can't produce any more 'goods' because of course then they are not worth even the little that they were being fed to begin with. But dogs this age make great pets, they are well past the puppy naughty stage. The only thing is, if they lived in a puppy mill, they often have no idea what it is like to be in a good loving home and it takes adjustment.It is very dangerous to not spay your female dog because they can get a horrible disease called pyometra, which is like a ruptured appendix would be to a human.

(Many women need hysterectomies as they get older). They are also much more prone to mammary tumors and breast cancer, so if you are going to spay it is generally recommended to do it prior to 2 years of age to decrease the chances of the cancer. Our female's second heat triggered off the pyometra, in a dog who was 13 1/2 by that stage, it darn near killed her.

My neighbors dog died of pyometra when it was only 7. So everyone should be aware of the importance of spaying!.

Don't like big animals like dogs or cats. " "Do you think animals will have place in heaven? I would not think it is heaven without animals" "Which Animals a big Age?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
