Consult your vet, she may not be ready, even though she is supposed to be by now. Good luck!
(If she snarls or growls at the male, then she is probably not ready.)

The b**ch will only accept the male when she is ready and you might have miscalculated the dates.
The male might be inexperienced. You sometimes need an experienced stud with a maiden b**ch.
The b**ch might be inexperienced. She might be intimidated by the dog.
The b**ch might not be suitable for breeding.
I know of several cases where the b**ch has been extremely reluctant to mate but has been given no choice. In each case there was either a problem with the whelping which resulted in Caesareans or the pups were sickly and deformed.
You have probably missed the correct time by now so have her checked out by the Vet and, if the Vet doesn't find anything wrong and you must breed from her, choose a different stud dog.
Would you also bear in mind that the dog population doesn't need any more breeders who don't really know what they are doing.
If between you and the stud dog owner you can't work out what is wrong perhaps you should have her spayed and leave dog breeding to the few people who want to eradicate inherited problems and improve the overall breed standard.

Usually if a female won't stand there is a reason...she isn't ready despite what the calendar says, she doesn't like the male chosen for her or thre is a medical problem.
Also breeding should not take place until both dogs have had and passed all health testing (not just simple vet exams), are at least 2 years old, have been evaluated or shown to ensure they meet breed standards and have impeccible pedigrees...if any of that is missing then breeding should not take place.
Also dogs do NOT need to be bred or have at least one litter prior to spay/neuter. it is actually advisable that they do not. The longer they are left intact the higher the risk of reproductive cancers become. In females the more heat cycles the higher the risk of mammary cancer & a very serious uterine infection, pyometria, can occur. Pyometria is often fatal.
Also breeding should only be undertaken after a person has learned at least the basics of breeding practices, whelping & newborn care or has an experienced mentor to help.

yes, what is wrong that someone is trying to set themselves up as a back yard breeder while knowing nothing about breeding. Neuter your dogs and save people like me a headache having to take in poorly bred and badly reared puppies .
If she won't stand for the dog, she is NOT ready. That much should be clear to anyone.

from my experience on the breeding part... is that there is 3 wks of heat. Week 1 the discharge has a bloddy tint. Week 2 is clear, this is the week where she will allow the male to breed her. But it will be on her on terms. So don't expect her to let him on the first day of week 2. Then week 3 is the bloody tint again. I also found that my female would not let my male breed her as long as they were around the family. Breeding would take place in the mornings when they would go out to potty. If I walked out on them she would duck her head as if she had done wrong.

She could just not be ready to stand. Most bitches stand around days 10-14.

Proper timing is necessary for a good breeding. Take the Sire out for a brisk walk to return to the dam. On occasion the dam will not cooperate on her first mating. A muzzle may be necessary. Hold the dam to allow the Sire to mount her. Above all....Do not separate them by force once joined. The Sire has to come down naturally. Once parted, take her out for a brisk walk, but do not allow her to urinate. good luck.

my dog is at the stage that she's standing for any dog that comes near, its very distressing for me having to stamp my feet at these poor horny dogs that cant think straight, lol , but if you think its this week that she's ready no doubt it will be next week that she stands, just be patient with her x

Take her to vet and get an ovulation test done on her,this will give you exactly the right time to breed her,

How old is she? Is this her first breeding? Don't take this wrong but dogs have "FEELINGS" too, they can pick and choose a mate, (they do in the wild). Just because we domesticated them does not mean we can force then to do as "WE" will. Leave them alone and see if nature takes it course. If not try another male.
