Can i have useful replies as we want our dog to have pups and we have carefully selected homes both dog kc and pedigree and vet checked etc and to become a professional breeder you have to start somewhere so less of the sarcastic remarks you know who you are

I bet you are getting so much stick on here for wanting to breed! She may not be far enough into her season yet they sometimes bleed allot at 1st then stop bleeding and start again a couple of days later! They are usually at there most fertile in the last few days of there season so that's probably why they are both uninterested.
Before you breed them please get your research done you'll need to be well prepared when she is due to whelp, also you'll need to get your litter registration form, KC affix and accredited breeders certificate.
Are both of them Breed Standard? Look up there breed standard and if they fit the bill then it's a good idea, have they been successfully shown? Dave they had hip scores? Eye and ear tests? Do you know the defects that can arise in the breed and be passed onto the puppy's! Are the breed candidates for needing emergency C sections?
You really need to think about this before it's too late and your thrown in the deep end. I cant stress enough that you need to research this thoroughly use Ur PC till you wear the keyboard out! Any invest in some good books there worth there weight in gold!
We've got our 1st Litter of English Bull Terriers due any Minuit very exciting but nerve wracking both for me and her.
Oh yeah you cant register mix breed puppys so both mum and dad need to be the same breed!
Good Luck What Breed are your dogs?
THANK YOU: Yourkies are sweet! Bit different to bullys though lol!!
Ask.com is great for info with whelping and everything else!

YES, You have to start somewhere, but the whelpinng box is the END result not the starting point. You have done nothing but get 2 dogs the same breed and wait for your bltch to bleed. The dog being registered means NOTHING. Anyone can take 2 poorly bred dogs who are registered and make more poorly bred dogs. The registry has no clue what people are breeding. They don't care either. They want your money to register more dogs. It's a business. It doesn't mean your dog is special.
A vet check... wooptido! The vet doesn't know if your dog is a carrier for diseases. Pedigree research can give you a clue. The vet doesn't know if your dog has HD or cardiomyopathy either or thyroid issues. WHY the helll does everyone think they need to get something out of their pets. Does she OWE you something? Because I can tell you right now she could pay with her life due to your ignorance and putting the cart before the horse.

My useful reply: Call your mentor (you do have a couple of those, right?) as well as the veterinary reproductive specialist you have a relationship with (since getting to know the repro vet is a step RESPONSIBLE breeders take before breeding) and ask them for assistance.
Me? I would do a quick smear and check for cornified cells to see if she's ready.... but then I've done my research, attended seminars, audited a class on canine reproduction at my local college and worked with several mentors BEFORE I ever attempted a breeding.
I have no issues with people breeding dogs. I breed dogs. I simply believe you should be doing it in a responsible, educated manner.
BTW: A vet check is not enough if you are responsible... here is an example of an OFA'd dog... http://www.offa.org/display.html?appnum=726924#animal

Your b itch is not ready for mating. She has not ovulated yet. She should be ready by day 12/13. A product called Matetel will help you to see when she is about to ovulate.
http://www.matetel.com/
It tests for electrolytes in the b itch's saliva which are only present just prior to ovulation.
With respect, before you breed this litter have you considered whether you have sufficient knowledge to bring a litter of pups into the world? If you unsure of ovulation does that mean you are unsure of everything else to do with breeding and raising a litter? Also are your breeding stock good enough to be bred?
Spend the next few days considering these points

Hi there I am nearly sure its around the 9 day or so. I had a little Shihtzu Dog and a lady asked to use him for breeding with. My dog was not interested at all for the first 15 mins or so and we thought we had missed her. But as my dog got acquainted he came round to the idea and done the Biz. Also it is totally true a dog will not mate until the time is perfect. They will lock and also I think the more often the dog covers the chance of a larger litter. My dog covered the female for a further 2 evenings eg: miss a day between. I hope you are successful and hope Ive helped even a little. Good Luck.

They are only really fertile at certain times through their season and a male dog is aware of this. Why must you breed her? There are far too many unwanted dogs around now. Have her spayed and just enjoy them, after all she is not just a breeding machine is she?

The best person to help you is the breeder of your b1tch - assuming they are knowledgeable & responsible. If they are not, your dog probably shouldn't be bred from anyway.
Do you also own the dog? Is it his first mating?
Novice dogs and novice handlers are a recipe for disaster when it comes to breeding, I'm afraid!

If you need to ask this question here, you do not know enough to be breeding.
EDIT: Yes, to become a good breeder you have to start somewhere, and that somewhere is educating yourself BEFORE you start breeding. Long before.

hi there dont listen to all the arrogant twats on here, of no help what so ever! your dog has to bleed for 12 to 13 days before she'l be ready, ive breed dogs a few times in the past and you should always wait till the 12th 13th day of bleeding and then try intruducing the dog, whens shes ready she will let the dog mate also my vet says should should mate the dog on the 12th and 13th day so its successful, my dog had 8 beautiful pups last year and they all went to good homes good luck.
