Between six and twelve months of age, female Welsh Terriers usually have their first heat cycle, also known as estrus, which indicates that they are fertile and able to have puppies. Similarly to female Welsh Terriers, males attain sexual maturity around the same time, albeit their physical maturation may not be as noticeable.

Proestrus, estrus, and diestrus are the three phases that make up a female dog's heat cycle, which happens about once every six to eight months. First, there is proestrus, when the female's body gets ready to mate, and then there is estrus, when she is open to mating. Prior to restarting, Diestrus completes the cycle. Making appropriate breeding choices requires an understanding of these phases.

Only those who are well-versed in the breed, its genetics, and the obligations that come with caring for a litter should give breeding any thought. Due to the high number of dogs looking for homes, it is morally questionable to breed without first ensuring the health of the mother and her offspring.

In order to eliminate the possibility of passing on inherited diseases to future generations, it is essential to do comprehensive health exams on both the male and female canines before considering breeding.

If you care about the health of the dogs participating in the breeding process, you should see a vet.

Choosing dogs for breeding that have qualities that are good for the breed is an example of responsible breeding. Health, temperament, and general breed quality should take precedence above profit. The goal of improving the breed and finding good homes for the pups should drive the choice to breed.
