The basic rules for mating dogs include the following:
- You need to know exactly at what age you can knit a dog. The animal is already ripe by the year to continue the genus. Small puppies breeds reach puberty earlier than large ones. Experienced breeders do not recommend leading a pet in the first heat for mating, since at this age the dog is not fully developed. If hurry up and “untie” the pet ahead of schedule, then he will stop growth and physical development, not reaching laid for the breed size and exterior. Moreover, early mating can negatively affect not only the physical, but also on the mental development of the animal.
- Much depends on the selection of a partner. To receive you need to healthy, full-fledged offspring, you need to find the most suitable a half for your friend. It is worth to familiarize yourself with the applicant’s pedigree, his health. Better if the dogs are from one breeder, you can contact the club for help dog breeders.
- For mating, it is important that it occurs on a suitable day. This the issue deserves separate consideration. But it is worth noting that Not all estrus can be mated.
- A prerequisite is the choice of a place to meet. partners and the mating itself. The most important thing is exactly what “bride” comes to visit the “groom”. Otherwise male may fade and fail to perform the expected actions. He’s at home more liberated and brave. There are also training features, based on the size of the pets and their temperament.
- Pet owners should be aware of the intricacies process, so that at the right time to help and not separate a couple before the end of the mating.
These are the main questions for a successful mating, but far from everything.
How to prepare a bitch for mating
In order to navigate and not miss the second time estrus, suitable for mating, you need during the first start special observation diary. All information is entered there. regarding estrus time, its duration and behavior dogs during this period. Knowing the time of one estrus, you can approximately calculate the date next.
The most suitable time for mating is the period from 12 to 15 days from the moment the bitch starts to flow. In addition, there are a number of signs that the “bride” is ready:
- she is interested in the opposite sex and invitingly flirting;
- in a dog, the “loop” becomes soft and increases in size;
- yellowish pink secretions appear shade;
- the female takes a suitable pose for knitting, and if you touch to the base of the tail or loop, she will take him to the side.
As soon as such signs began to be observed, then the bitch ovulation began, which lasts about five days. On this period and have a good time for mating.
But ideally, it’s better to plan an event on the second day, so that there was a higher probability of getting a large litter.
Among the features of estrus can be noted the following:
- dogs often have short-term discharge, or they transparent and therefore difficult to detect;
- there are cases when in the period of ovulation in the female a loop remains in its original state without softening;
- some bitches during the heat period are aggressive towards to males.
This suggests that each pet develops individually.
Dog case will be successful if time is correctly calculated fertilization. For these purposes, records of the beginning and features of the period when the dog flows, otherwise even the most a professional veterinarian will not help calculate ovulation days. Before it’s not worth feeding the dog a mating, but it’s better to bring 15-20 minutes take a walk.
How to choose a place for knitting
A place for mating should be taken care of in advance. In practice, breeders and dog handlers so that knitting should be pass in a place familiar to the male. This is done in order so that the dog does not feel insecurity and fear and can fulfill what is required of him.
If the dog is experienced, it is better to hold meetings in the same location. But if this is impossible and you have to arrange a meeting with females, then this is quite acceptable. The main thing is that the “gentleman” should have the opportunity to be in a new place, to sniff and look around. Usually after that the male calms down and begins to feel if not at home, it’s quite peaceful.
Different breeds of dogs have their own requirements for the place of mating. For pets small and medium size should prepare a separate room in a house or apartment. Large dogs are best done on a fenced street territory. In both cases the place should comply with certain standards:
- no strangers or others should be in the territory animals, their sudden appearance should be excluded;
- the place should be spacious and non-slip to avoid injury to animals and slipping during cages.
If the day and place is chosen, it remains only to introduce the two pets. The male is the first to launch into the new territory. 10-15 minutes will be enough for him to get comfortable. Then you can let out and bitch. In most cases, the male does not immediately commit cage, and shows some signs of attention and courtship.
How do dogs mate
If the couple is experienced, then most likely no hitches will arise. But what if the dogs are inexperienced and not quite understand what is required of them? In this case, the owners need Show skill and help the couple:
- If the bitch is completely ready and has taken the right stance, then for for better gliding, abundantly smear the loop with bold hypoallergenic cream or petroleum jelly.
- At the same time, the owner must hold the pet by the collar. AND you will need another pair of hands to hold the dog under his stomach and direct the “loop” to the penis of the male.
- The male is trying to do cages and if everything worked out, then he begins to make intense and quick shocks. In this period it is necessary to monitor the stability of the dog, since during eruption of the seed, he may not stand on his paws and fall. Special this applies to representatives of small breeds.
- There are situations when the organs of dogs are not quite suitable each other. Help is needed throughout the entire knitting process. It’s better if there is a knowledgeable person – a dog handler, veterinarian or breeder. Sometimes you need to raise a bitch’s pelvis, or, on the contrary, provide the dog with a stand, and hold the dogs, clinging to each other. Again, most often this happens to small dogs.
- After completion of sexual intercourse, the “groom” descends to the “bride”. Normally, she begins to snap and tries to bite him. During movements of the male reproductive organs of dogs enter a state of lumping, or another “castle”. This is due to physiological features that are responsible for the exclusion of premature ejaculation. If the dogs are in this position, then after the end of the act must wait 3-4 minutes and move the paws male so that the pets are tails to each other. Strictly it is forbidden to separate animals, at this moment you need to try them reassure. The lock can open at any time – and after 15 minutes and in an hour.
After the mating, soon you should expect the appearance of the first signs of pregnancy. However, it is important to understand that not always everything works right the first time.
