Answer 1

Usually when the dog is in heat you just put them together and they'll know what to do! Don't put her in RIGHT AWAY! If she isn't ready she'll show it! Maybe in a week or 2. If she isn't ready she'll spread her legs out and sort of growl if that happens seperate them and try again the next day!

Answer 2

My parents breed dogs and they always say 14 days. But if she's too young she may not be ready. You might check with your vet or a reputable breeder before you jump into anything. Also do more research on your dogs size and what the average litter size is and make sure you are going to have enough homes for these puppies. There are too many puppies at the pound. Good luck.

Hi i have been a breeder for many years! how old is your dog? its usually best to wait till there third heat cycle as breding a dog to young can cause her many problems and complications. here is a little info on the heat cycle and timing:Heat (also known as an estrus cycle) lasts approximately three weeks and has three separate parts.
The first week is proestrus: This is when the female dog secretes blood and hormones that attract male dogs
Week two of the heat cycle is known as the true estrus:The blood flow will usually stop at this time. This is when she will actually ovulate; any copulation during this time has a good chance of resulting in a pregnancy.The last stage of the heat cycle is called diestrus. Ovulation has passed, and the female dog will lose interest in mating. anyways good luck!!

Answer 4

I have two female dogs. When the younger one went into heat they were fine. Of course they were used to each other already because they live together. Your friends dog should be fine. Just keep her away from any male dogs, there are enough puppies in the world already that need homes.

Answer 5

A female dog is usually in heat for 21 days. The best time for breeding is a week after the menstruation has stopped. Allow them to breed for that week and isolate the male dog to prevent premature puppies. Hope this helps. Also remember that a dog's gestation period is 9 weeks. So you have that time to prepare. Good luck with everything hope everything goes well.

Answer 6

None of them.

If you have to ask this basic question it says one thing, You haven't done the research on breeding.

Breeding isn't as simple as sticking two dogs together and waiting for pups to hit the floor.

Before breeding your dog should meet the following requirements:

No less than 2 years of age.
Proven she's of breeding quality by earning points toward a championship.
Tested free of all genetic defects known to the breed.

Until those things are done, she should never be bred.

Have her spayed instead. It will reduce her chances of developing mammary cancer, it will completely eliminate the chances of uterine cancer or pyometra; a uterine infection that can be deadly if not treated promptly.

It also eliminates the cost of prenatal care (dogs need it too) all the expense of raising a healthy litter of pups, possible emergency c-section, round the clock care of newborn pups if mom is unable to do so herself or dies from complications, the heartbreak of losing the entire litter to complications. The list goes on.

You also need to ask yourself if you are going to be responsible for these puppies for their entire lives, not just up to eight weeks old. If for any reason someone can't keep the puppy they got from you, you need to be willing to take the dog back no matter the age or problem.

There are enough dogs in shelters waiting homes, and for every pup you find a home for, a shelter dog loses a chance at a home.

Answer 7

Put the two of them together, he will know when it's time better than any human will. She won't allow it until she's ready. And they should breed multiple times for the best success rate.


Actually, breeding IS as simple as putting two dogs together, but you are right, GOOD breeding is a whole other animal...but then she didn't ask how to be a good breeder did she???

Answer 8

check on line for your specific breed or just "dog breeders reference charts" or "estrus charts". there's alot of great info. out there! i just made the rounds myself, my ACD.... hmmm, can't say the b word even if it does mean "girl dog" that's funny. anyway SHE just delivered 6 pups a week ago, it was a great success. also check into whelping help,alot if the info. is the same so you could even ck. out the site where i learned so much, its australian cattle dog.com, then check under resources then under breeding and whelping. there you will find all you need... from conception to raising healthy little squealers! best of luck to you, erin.

Answer 9

How about you don't breed her till you know more about it? Since you don't even know the day, obviously you won't have the slightest idea of prenatal/postnatal care. Not to mention that your dog isn't good quality (don't even go there, I already know). So let's not make more puppies that are going to wind up in shelters being killed. I'm so tired of this, look into a foster dogs eyes and realize how close they came to being killed. Then tell me you don't care. Your sick.

Answer 10

around day 10-14

The best test is the dogs themselves.

GOOD LUCK
