Sex

Transylvanian Hounds typically reach sexual maturity around six to eight months of age, although individual dogs may vary slightly. Sexual maturity refers to the age at which dogs become capable of reproduction. However, it is important to note that breeding should not be considered until the dog has reached physical and mental maturity, which is usually around 18 to 24 months of age.

Breeding decisions should be made carefully, taking into consideration various factors such as the overall health, temperament, and genetic background of the dog. It is important to work closely with a reputable breeder or a veterinarian who can provide guidance and recommendations regarding the ideal time for breeding.

Breeding dogs should undergo thorough health screenings to ensure they are free from any genetic or hereditary conditions that could be passed on to their offspring. This may include tests for hip dysplasia, eye diseases, and other breed-specific health concerns.

Responsible breeding also involves considering the demand for puppies and ensuring that the breeding pair represents the breed's standard and characteristics. Breeding should be done with the intention of preserving and improving the breed, not for profit or casual purposes.
