When is the best time for dogs to mate?
When is the best time for dogs to mate? If you want your female dog to get pregnant, you must wait until the female dog reaches the peak of ovulation to have a chance of success. Generally, a female dog is in estrus for about 2 weeks. The first day starts from the onset of bleeding from the vagina, and then from the 9th to the 14th day (some say it is 10 days to 15 days). These 5 days are the easiest. Breeding period.
1. Help dogs naturally bond
Once it is determined that the female dog is at the peak of ovulation, the dog owner should quickly seize the "golden week" of mating-that is, let the female dog mate with her husband within 5 days.
However, even if the dog is at the peak of ovulation, it may not be possible to mate successfully once. It depends on the willingness of both parties and whether they have experience in this area.
2. Dog owner-assisted mating
If two dogs really can't mate smoothly, the owner will have to bother the owner to help out. In general family breeding, one friend or relative has a male dog, and the other has a female dog (or vice versa), and wants them to mate and produce puppies. If both dogs are inexperienced, it may even happen that the male dog is not interested and the female dog is unwilling.
In order to avoid the embarrassing situation of no "call" from both parties, you can let the female dog start to get along with the male dog on the first day of estrus, so that they can get to know each other and become familiar with each other, and wait until the official breeding on the 10th day , it is easier for them to like each other, so it is best to let them "like" each other.
Most virgin dogs will have a strong desire as soon as they smell the smell of a female dog in heat. But not knowing how to do it is also a big problem. Even if both parties are interested, but don’t know how to execute it, there will be a situation where the male dog has already lied behind the female dog, but cannot get into the correct position. Sometimes it will also happen that the male dog lies on the head of the female dog. Hilarious scenes of collision.
When this phenomenon of not entering the situation occurs, the dog owner's assistance is needed: help the male dog to be excited by constantly stroking it with human hands, and then put the genitals into the vagina of the female dog.
If it can be performed by experienced experts, it will be less likely to hurt the dog. You can ask the owner of a pet store or pet grooming salon to help you. As long as the dog has one breeding experience, he will not be so green and ignorant next time.
3. Artificial insemination
In addition to natural mating, veterinary doctors can also help dogs undergo artificial insemination by using an empty syringe.Obtain the male dog's semen, then dip the male dog's catheter in a little Vaseline and put it into the female dog's vagina to indirectly complete the fertilization process. Although this process involves less direct physical contact, a healthy baby can still be born.
Remember: if you want to successfully welcome a new little life, the dog owner must first understand the peak ovulation period of the female dog, and then arrange for both parties to mate twice. There should be a day between the two times, and it is best not to mate continuously, so the probability of conception will be much higher.
Warm reminder: Before breeding a female dog, it is best for the dog owner to take the dog to the animal hospital and ask the doctor to do a vaginal smear examination, which can detect the date of ovulation. This is a good estrus check, which will be more conducive to understanding the dog's production cycle, thereby increasing the chance of pregnancy.
