Dogs have what are referred to as barbs on their penis. When they begin breeding, these barbs swell causing the penis to lock into the female. The reason why this happens goes back to the wild wolf that is the ancestor of the domestic dog. Wolves lock together like this for hours to ensure that the female is pregnant and to prevent another male from coming along.
Dogs lock together for 15 to 45 minutes, although I have seen longer. The male slips off of the female sometimes because the female may move causing him to fall, or he gets tired, or often the male is inexperienced and does not know that he cannot get off of her.
To break your dogs up, you can use cold water to cause the male to go into shock to get off of the female. Do not pull them apart, it will not work and you will only hurt them both. The best thing to do is let it run its course, but then keep the female away from the male.
I am not getting into the war that has started on here over unwanted pets and whether or not you need to be breeding the animals. That is not what you have asked so there is no reason for me to go into that.
Hope this helps!

Because that's the normal part of dog mating, it's called 'tying'. It's during this time that the main part of the ejaculate is passed so the female.
If you don't know this I'm assuming there are many other things you don't know, so you REALLY shouldn't be allowing your dogs to breed.

Why are you breeding your dog if you know nothing about breeding dogs? Take him to the vet, get him neutered, stop adding to the overpopulation problem.

It's called "the tie". His penis is swollen and they will be stuck like that for about 20 minutes.
Why are you breeding him anyways when there are too many unwanted dogs b/c of irresponsible ppl and BYBs.

As nice as you think your dogs are,
Please get your dogs fixed - millons ( onot an understament of cute puppies & kittens young & old are killed - to mak room for othre unwanted puppies & kittens & breeding your animals only kills more of them - if you like baby animals - please go to the local pound or animal rescue & save lives

Please stop your dogs breeding. You have no idea what you are doing and you are adding to the homeless pet problem.
