I'm trying to breed my dog to a bitch that doesn't belong to me. The owners of the bitch brought her over for the first time about 6 days ago thinking that she's nearing the time based on the color of her discharge and number of days since it started. She looked somewhat cooperative to me. My dog was very excited and tried to mount her about 10 times. She lashed out at him a few times but he kept trying to mount her. The one time when it looked like he was getting close she lashed out stronger than before and bit him on the ear. My dog then relaxed and lay down away from her.
The bitch has been brought over every other day since. In these following days she appeared much more cooperative than the first time. My dog gets excited when she's here but limits himself to licking her behind, he's not trying to mount past a couple of halfhearted attempts. Today we decided to leave her with my dog for the day. She seems very cooperative, walking over to him and presenting her rear near his face, and my dog seems even less interested than before other than giving her behind a few licks and sniffs.
My dog has been bred before and sired 3 litters. He lived in a kennel with bitches for about a year before I got him. The owners of this bitch really want a breeding and I feel we're running out of time. Should I just let them be and see if they'll do it naturally or should the owners opt for artificial insemination at this time? Was it a mistake to bring the bitch over too early, did her aggression discourage my dog permanently?
I would try Viagra. Ok ok just kidding. Let them be if they can be trusted alone. I mean not going to fight. I have seen alot of times performance anxiety if you will with the breedings I have been involved in at a relatives kennel. When that happens he just lets them alone and lets nature take its course. He may just not be interested in that female as strange as that sounds. Just my opinion.
Thanks Terry. He showed more interest today, her day 16, and mounted her briefly once. I'm not going to stress over it, if it happens it happens. I'm not crazy about the bitch anyways, it's just the stud fee for me in this one. The only thing I regret is bringing the bitch over too early. He was very enthusiastic the first time. I hope he knows exactly what he's doing and is just waiting for the right time. Like I said he's been bred before and kenneled with bitches full time, he may be very familiar with the timing, or not.
It was just a matter of timing. Today is day 18 or 19 or 20 for the bitch and my dog is plenty interested. Yesterday and today he was mounting her many times. Still couldn't achieve a tie but it's obviously not for lack of interest by the male. I suspected he may have had the timing figured out.

One more example and reason why I walked away from the Rottweiler and any hope for the breed amazing how money can destroy good things.
How's her hips and elbows
Yep, I did it is for the money. But had I bred my dog to a bitch I thought was good I'd let you know. I like masculine bitches. In this case I want to breed my dog to a sharp bitch, a real
The bitch was running around fine so I assumed her hips and elbows were OK. If I saw a problem I wouldn't allow the breeding. I don't like the idea of producing crippled dogs. Although much more of it is due to environmental factors than people believe.
I was glad to find out that my dog doesn't lack libido and that it was just a matter of timing, but I was pissed after the whole ordeal. Not so much because of my time wasted but because of the effect it had on my dog. While the bitch was here I took care to not insist on too much obedience. As a result over these last 3 or 4 days my dog started to behave more like the stubborn prick that he is. As soon as I determined that there will not be a breeding I started to insist that he do everything right. It didn't take long for him to realize that the jig is up. But what I was left with is incessant panting and pacing as of 2 days and 2 nights ago. I couldn't sleep because the dog wouldn't relax all night and I'd have to send him out of the room a few times, the panting was loud. This morning I decided to give him a bath. I bathe the dog outside with a garden hose. The panting went away and the dog relaxed. I'm not an experienced breeder and it may be a well known procedure to bathe the dog after he's done with the bitch, based on this experience I recommend it. Maybe it washed off some of the bitches scent that kept him excited.
