I would still either assume it is an STD or else that the dog herself has low hormones.
Has your male ever successfully mated with another dog? You might just have to find a different mating pair.

First, please tell me that you had your dogs tested for genetic defects, they both conform to the breed standard and you have researched your breed well. It is not necessary that they have been shown, but it helps to make sure they are good representatives of the breed - at least tell me you had them evaluated by a long-time breeder and competitor in the ring? Also, tell me that you have a waiting list of pre-screened homes for these puppies and have an emergency fund for any problems that might arise - like a c-section that is common in these guys. Also tell me that you have thought about the possibility of losing your 2 year old (minimum age for breeding!) female just because you wanted a litter.If not, please do not breed these guys. There are many out there that need homes. If you answered yes to all of them, tell me what tests were run. I work for a repro vet andmight be able to help you, but I will not contribute to the overpopulation problem by assisting backyard breeders. I am sorry if this is harsh,but I have volunteered at many rescue groups and have seen too many abuse and neglect cases to have very good pen- side manners. Also know in advance that you will not make money off of these pups if you do it right - the only people that do either have world-class dogs and a whole lot of luck or cut corners. Also know that theyre are many "very sweet!" dogs out there just like yours (purebred) waiting in shelters, and having a genetic continuation of your pets does not assure you a bond with those babies or a replacment of your pet.

SO was semen drawn on the male for examination? Did you do the progestrone testing to make sure your breeding when the female ovulates? Are you actuallly getting a mating?
ust like human infertility You'll need $$$$ for med bills to get to the bottom of the problem - hope she's special enough to warrent it....

There's a photo of a female condition that may impact whether or not your dog mates:

I have a dog thast i take care of, and we had the same thing happen to us. Turns out for no reason that he vets dont know that it is very difficult to get pregnant and the best way to do it and hopefully get her pregnant is to do INVITRO FERTILIZANTION. Good luck

Sometimes it just doesn't 'take'. Sometimes the females body will absorb or dissipate anything that starts to develop in the uterus.
