Males are ready to breed at around 6 weeks (sometimes earlier). Females aren't ready until they're fully mature, at around 3-4 months, although it's younger for some varieties.

Are you from the Republic of Georgia or the US State of Georgia? I know some folks in the state. Please make an introduction post in the "intro" forum!

Boys sometimes surprise one by being really earlier, like around four weeks, especially if they are from large stock. Girls shouldn't be bred until about 12 weeks to be sure they're big enough to deliver without problems.
