I usually retire a dog after it’s finished its championship and has produced a couple litters (generally around 120 days old)

I retire them after they no longer serve a purpose for bettering my kennel.

If they aren't winning in the ring and not being bred, I find a FH.

If they are producing poorly, I find a FH.

I try to rotate out my older stock as soon as the new generation is proving out.
