I was just wondering. I have dogs that do really well.

I am the wrong one to ask. I keep them forever because I love the color - or the name - or just - whatever... Fortunately there doesn't seem to be a limit on how many you can retire. Mine eventually have mostly died off. And they are cheap to feed.

Whenever you are done breeding and showing them. Once a dog is retired they cannot show or breed. Dogs cannot show after 120 days old anyways, so personally I will show until then, then retire if I don’t need them for breeding anymore either. You cannot reverse retirement so make sure you’re sure.

Did you know?
The two largest American dog shows after Westminster are the National Dog Show (which is televised on Thanksgiving Day by NBC, usually after the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade) and the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship.
