Natural Breeding. Responsible breeders generally do not breed a ***** at the first heat, to avoid imposing the stress of pregnancy and lactation on a young, growing animal. It is also customary to avoid breeding a ***** on consecutive heats, to allow sufficient time for recuperation between pregnancies.
Most dogs are first bred between the 10th and 14th day after the onset of proestrus. As long as the ***** will accept the male, mating every other day for a total of two or three matings is generally considered sufficient. However, signs of proestrus are not obvious in some bitches. To catch the peak fertile period, a veterinarian may need to perform hormone tests or examine vaginal smears under a microscope.
Females are usually less inhibited by new environments, so bitches are usually taken to the stud. Breedings involving young males proceed smoother if they are paired with experience bitches. Sometimes human handlers must step in with assistance or guidance during breedings. Some breeds are more apt to need assistance than others because of anatomical considerations. Discussing this process with your own breeder will help you be prepared for the big event.
During breeding, the male mounts the female from the rear and clasps her midsection with his front legs. Rapid pelvic thrusts follow, until penetration and ejaculation take place. After the pelvic thrusts cease, the male and female will not separate for 10 to 30 minutes. Known as a tie, this results from a swollen section of the penis called the bulbus glandis. During the tie, the male may move around until he and the ***** are positioned rear to rear. Do not try to separate the dogs during the tie, because it can injure either or both animals. Sooner or later, they will part naturally.
Artificial Insemination. Artificial insemination is a relatively simple procedure that can be used when natural breeding is impractical. The AKC accepts registration of a litter mated by artificial insemination using fresh semen, fresh extended semen, and frozen semen, provided the proper procedures are followed. Registration of these litters requires DNA certification. For more information, see the AKC's rules for registering a litter bred by artificial insemination.

The heat cycle lasts 2-3 weeks. After ten days the female is ready to mate. Of course there are different theories too. Check out the site listed below and also others that do with this subject. However you should also read up on the subject of breeding dogs before you do anything as well as making sure that you have a place lined up for the puppies. There are so many unwanted puppies out there it would be a shame to allow more to be born with no where to go.

bool your answer was uncalled for and I will report you. Your mother must be really proud of you.
Ok you don't take the female to the male you bring the male to you. Females don't do well at the males place..The male don't give a hoot. Really males are less nervous. You should bring the male to you on her 12th of her heat cycle. Just make sure she is two years old before you breed her. Please make sure your female and male has a clear bill of heath from the vets.

Wow, you're leaving yourself wide open on this one. Brace yourself.....
How old is your female?
Are both dogs you are considering breeding registered?
Do both fall within that breed standard (size color coat) with no disqualifying faults?
Have they both had general as well as breed specific health testing done with favorable results for breeding?
Do you have pre-screened homes lined up for pups?
If you're answers are not 2+, yes, yes, yes & yes, I would not recommend you bringing the male over at all. Get the health testing done and go from there.

Why would you bring more domestic pets into the world? Do you have any idea how irresponsible this is?
You don't even know anything about the dogs cycle and you want to mate her! You are not qualified to do this!! It is irresponsible of you. Volunteer some time at an animal shelter and then maybe you will think differently about bring more puppies into the world.
If you love your pets - do them a big favor and get them spayed or neutered.

Wait til you get her spayed, then there won't be another unwanted litter produced.
If you have read anything at all about breeding, you would know this.
Even just casual research on the internet, you would know this.
Your question lets me know that you haven't done any research into this breeding at all..

No offense, and I am not trying to be mean, but if you do not know when to breed, then you shouldn't be breeding at all!
