She also have to be at least 18 months old. (no special club can change that)

And when it comes to the Code of ethics for members of the Swedish kennel club it says;

It is incumbent upon every member of the SKK organisation:

3:4

to not allow bitches to give birth to more than five litters. If a bitch has two litters within 12 months it must then be given at least a 12 months rest before the next whelping.

10 and 13 months must be old numbers??

Ninni

Thanks for the new numbers yep, they might have bean old

Yes, SKK has only roles, Agriculture is Swedish law...

But is say "at the earliest at the age recommended by their special club" and the club can say "earliest at the age of 24 month if they want to" but of course they will need permission from SKK to do so

And if a breeder brakes that 24 month role, they do not brake Swedish law, but only a breed club and SKK role, punishment can maximum be `No pedigree for the puppies`

If I understand it all right ?

But, yes it are to say like this...

`at the earliest at the age recommended by their special club, but never earlier than the second heat or 18 month `

We can write to SKK and ask them about it

Very best regards / Mikael
