I am looking for opinions when you like to have a litter and why, pro's/con's, etc.

I like having a fall litter so by spring pups can hit the woods and they are ready to start the following fall. I am in Wisconsin and most do not like to buy pups in fall.

I like early spring. Don't have to worry about the heat and they'll be perfect age to start during season.

Not now !!! I've got a litter in the house right now. This summer has been two ways here, pouring rain or blazing hot. Add flies and fire ants =pups in house .
I prefer early fall or spring to avoid extreme heat or cold

I like to raise them in late winter. Its easy to keep them warm in an insulated house. Their mother will stay in there with them if its cold out. The pups will be old enough by the fall for them to learn a lot during season.
