Female Beagle, 2 yrs. 4th heat. Second heat we've allowed mating. The first heat that we allowed (her third heat) mating, resulted in "false" pregnancy.
Male Beagle, 4 yrs. Never sired before. Has short legs, hence, mounting issues.

Yes they are purebred. Yes I have owners lined up. Yes I'm financially able to take care of shots, certifications, and even the pups if no one wants them.
Maybe I should clarify that I actually want real answers to a real question.
Thanks for any good advice anyone can give.

My friend breeds UKC Rat terriers.. she supplies a stool for her male..she says that if he isn't smart enough to use it, then he isn't smart enough to be breeding..
However, the vet will artificially inseminate the female for you, if you take them both in..Here, the vets charge $80 to do this..

I hope these Beagles come from either a very strong hunting/field or show background and have themselves proven themselves in the field or in the ring. Being registered doesn't mean anything other then the fact that they are purebred.My hubby has owned Beagles his whole life (over 50 years) and bred Beagles for several years as well. He bred hunting/field Beagles.
Hopefully they also had health testing done(not just simple vet exams). Since your female has been bred before and it didn't take I would defiantely get an exam done of the reproductive system and thyroid as well as a burcellosis test done. As for your male a sperm count should also be done since he's 4 and never been used for breeding before.
Short legs has nothing to do with not being able to "do the job). If you think he needs a boost supply him with a stool and "help" guide him to the proper place.

If the ***** is taller than the dog, put her in a place where she is lower than him. If you can get him to mount, try to assist with the breeding by guiding him in. If you can get him to mount and assist him, when you see pelvic thrusting, push on his hind end and hold him in until they tie. When young males breed they use their sex drive for this. When the sex drive starts falling off and they have never bred, you might not get a natural breeding. Ask your vet about Artificial Insemination. I used a stud about 5 years ago and had brought a ***** up and left her for breeding. This boy did not breed her and she missed. I brought her sister up and called the breeder every day. He did not have a breeding, so I went up and did an AI on my *****. She had 7 pups. This boy had OFA excellent hips and we thought he might not be breeding as his back might be hurting him when he mounted. All the x-rays on his back did not reveal any type of arthritis in his back or cauda equina. What are the heights of your dogs? 13 or 15 inches? Is the ***** taller than the male? Please do not put her with other males. You will need to DNA a litter this way if you decide to use different males.

are these purebreds? is there going to be someone who wants the puppies? are you going to be financially able keep all of the puppies incase you cant find homes for them all?
breeding for breeding's sake is very irresponsible. maybe god doesn't want to see a bunch of puppies end up in a pound and killed just because a silly lil owner wanted some puppies for a few days.

Put her together with your male and maybe one or two other males and he will get the message, but you won't be able to
aid your dog unless he just carries on trying
