My 6 month old baby vigo is about 17-18 inches. (he's big!) I would love to mate him but when is he ready? I dont want him to get rejected by the fem. Does he have to be a certain size or age? He's a pastel beauty and I would love to mate him w/ a white leusitic female, is it possible?, and anyone in south jersey with that type of female, let me know!

first off, wait until he is at least 16-18 months old, and healthy. Use that same scale for females. If you dont, there is a possibility of stunted growth, or hemepenes becoming disfunctional of something. Males actually can breed at a younger age, but AT LEAST wait until he is a year old before breeding.If you get a female wait until she is at least 16-18 months. Good Luck

Yes you should wait until he is a bit older just to be on the safe side. If your going to breed him to a "Leucistic", be ready to spend the money on one because most people who have one are going to use their own animals for breeding, but yes it is possible to do that.

thanks allot to both of u. I wanna take the best care I can of him and thanx to u i will!
