You might try to muzzel her.. gauze around her snout and then tie the ends up and around her neck then hold her front shoulders as she may be afraid since she has not done this before.
OR
You need to stop trying and give them some privacy.. a dog knows when it is time but some are shy and will not perform with onlookers. After they are tied it is ok for you to come out and help get them turned if necessary.
GOOD LUCK

I believe in some what goldengal said.. except for the muzzle .. If I didn't hold my female head during matting she would kill the male..I set with her and hold her head and talk to her..while all she wants to do is kill the male that is causing all this to happen lol. I would never muzzle my female..If I wasn't willing to to keep her calm the nature way I wouldn't let her breed. I even had to lay in the snow with her because my male decided he wanted it right then and there.
That is the reason when I Stud out my males I make sure the owners stay in case the female try to hurt the male..that way they can talk to their dog to clam her down. I wouldn't try it because the female don't know me. So I make them stay long enough to know that their female will be ok.
You need to maybe keep them away from each other for a few days. She should be in her 12th day, more or less, of her heat cycle she will be in her prime at the time and more willing to accept the male.
I have also heard like thekla o said about some female won't mate with the dog they lived with..In my case I never had that problem. My dogs are always together and I never had that problem.
It may never happen. For some reason the female doesn't want him .. you may have to end up finding another dog,. Welcome to the down size of breeding lol.

Sometimes you have to assist in the breeding. This is a typical behavior sometimes.
If your males is still willing to mount the female and she is still flashing him then she is ready to breed, But you may have to hold her head so she doesnt bite him.
I know it's not going to be easy but if you really want ot breed her than this is what it may take to do it. You can also try a muzzle for her so she doesnt hurt him too. Breeding a dog isn't always an easy job!

has your male ever bred before? sometimes a female is just uncooperative and it takes an aggressive breeding male to get the job done. see if your male will do his job while you hold the female in place so she cant run off or bite him. i have known of females who will not mate with a male they live with. if you know anyone else with doxies, you might try trading breedings. once they both get the hang of it, it should go better.

first off do you really want to breed a litter. it is alot of work. secondly, sometimes a male and female growing up together will not breed. if she has never been bred and you still want to do this then you may need to muzzle the female and hold her so the male and do his stuff. most females don't enjoy being bred. it hurts them which is why she bites at him. think it through before you commit to bringing more puppies into the world. I would only consider breeding if you knew that every puppy produced already had a home before it was born.

muzzle her, or put her in a controlled breeding environment. lock her in a pen with him and muzzle her and then maybe she'll get bored and they'll do their thing. Either that or she's just not interested in him, I mean, a human wouldn't "mate" with a person they didn't like. Try getting a stud, and just make your money back by studding your male.

I have always believed in natural breeding (I have Collies) and I have had those finicky first timers too and the thing I learned that they what to chose their mates. So I put up cutouts of different males and let her think they didn"t want her so then she gave it up to whom I chose. (do not let the male see the cutouts he will get aggressive with her).

Gee by the sounds of it your female's not found of your male. It'll take her a little while to get use to the idea of breeding but I wouldn't rush or push them. They'll do thier thing when she's ready! lol....
