I have a 19 month old female (this is her 3rd heat) and a 3 year old male. Neither have ever been bred before (last heat we let them together but she didn't want anything to do with him) and she's on her 9th day and she still won't stand for him. He'll mount her & start thrusting but she sits down on him. I realize 2 unproven dogs aren't best for a first time mating, but I don't have access to a proven stud.
Is there some way we can assist in the mating?
Are some dogs just always going to be unwilling to breed?
Any information/advice would be greatly appreciated
