The ideal time for dogs copulation: It's best if the female dog does not copulate during her first heat (the ideal is if she has had one before). A female dog is usually in heat during three weeks. During the first stage, the ovaries segregate certain hormones that stimulate the walls of the uterus in order to receive the fecundated ovules. During the second stage (the next seven to ten days), the female attracts male dogs and she ovulates causing her to want to copulate as well. In general it is believed that on the nineteenth day of the dogs heat stage, is the most fertile day of the cycle; however this varies from dog to dog depending on the breed. The female dog will make it pretty evident when she is ready to copulate by showing a great interest in male dogs and by lifting her tail showing her vulva and occasionally a liquid segregates from it. The best option is to put the female dog on the male dog's territory. This is done because often times a male dog will not want to copulate in the territory of another dog. Once the dogs start copulating it seems almost as if the male dog is "stuck" to the female dog. This happens because the dog's penis becomes enlarged when it is inside of the female dog's vagina and this causes them to get stuck together. When this happens the male dog tends to turn around while still stuck to the female dog, but the dogs will be looking in opposite directions. Sometimes they stay in this awkward and uncomfortable position for half an hour. It is not known why dogs become "stuck" together while copulating; the fact is that it is not necessary for the dogs to be stuck together for such a long time for the female dog to get pregnant since many female dogs have gotten impregnated while just a brief session of copulating with the male dog. Towards the end of the female's heat cycle the female begins rejecting the male dogs. If everything has gone as planned, the female dog should be pregnant.
I am sorry for your loss; I hope this is of some help to you.
Good luck!

Dogs come into heat and you notice swelling. During the first 7 days, she will not breed. The next 7 days, she will begin to bleed some and you should take her to the dog at any time during this period. After 7 days of this, she will start out of heat but will still be swollen some for another 7 days, but at this time she will fight the male dog off.

we are going through the same thing. My golden retreiver is in heat and we are trying to breed her. From the internet and the breeder we are using (male dog's owner) we gather the best time is around 9-10 days after the heat starts. What the breeder told me is when the blood is no longer bright red but a clear color with a pinkish tinge. We are at the 12th day and are still waiting for this, so I guess it is flexible from the 9-10 day thing. Hope this helps. Good luck!

In order to maximize the odds of conception with properly timed breeding in dogs, it is best to pin-point, as closely as possible, the day of ovulation for the female dog—more commonly referred to as a *****, which is the correct terminology. Symptoms of estrus-onset in the ***** are evidenced by swelling in the vulva and the appearance of a clear to brownish vaginal discharge. The male animal, or stud, will show interest in the female, and she may exhibit “flagging,” by which she will respond to being stroked at the genital region by elevating the tail to one side. A vaginal exam, however, serves as a better indicator of a fertile period than the aforementioned physical and behavioral signs..

once you find amale to breed her to, you need to wait for at least 10-12 days before she will except the male.once she excepts the male you need to breed her for at 3 days to make sure she took. that means take her to the male every other day for 3 days. after that you will be able to take her to the vet at 3-4 weeks after you breed her. i am sorry about you loss of your boys i hope with this litter you may have they will bring the joy to you like your boys did. i breed golden retrievers and boy they are fun to have around, and they keep my kids company and my kids keep the pups occupied. good luck in your breeding

She may be to old to breed !! Ask your vet first!! Cause she could die having pups, woould you want to risk that?? Dogs age faster then we do remember? so talk to a vet if you really love your dog!! Or better yet fix your dog and you will have her for years to come and not worry about having puppies that could end up homeless or put down cause no one wanted them!!!! If you long for a puppy or another dog, why not adopt one from a shelter?? There are so many dogs out there that need a loving home and you would be doing more justice for your dog and other dogs!!! There is a dog right now that needs you, and its at your local animal shelter!!!!!! Why bring more pups in this world when there is already too many homeless animals!!! I hope you will really think about it if you love your dog!!!

Be happy with what you have. Focus on her health and well being. If you want to breed her that is fine, but make sure you have a bonified male and have plenty of vet support handy. Personally, I wouldn't have more than one litter. Dogs that are fixed make better pets. Please don't turn her into a puppy factory.. And one puppy is very hard to look after.. imagine a whole litter! Plus, if you aren't willing to take the puppies back when the person you sold them to decides to get rid of them, don't breed. People breed for the love of the breed. You should be willing to take full responsibility for all the puppies.. even when they are grown.. just something to think about.

I too am very sorry for your loss. But you are going to be putting your rotts life in danger by breeding her. There are so many things that can go terribly wrong with breeding and giving birth. It's not fair to put her life at risk. And what if she has genetic health problems that she passes on to her puppies? Please consider adopting a homeless dog or puppy from a rescue or shelter. You will be saving a life instead of bringing more into a world where millions of perfectly sounda and wonderful dogs are being put to sleep each year for simple lack of home.
