I'm sure the mating took. However, never seeing them mate, is going to be a nightmare for you.....as you usually begin the count from the 58 - 63rd day...from either the 1st breeding and 2nd breeding.....are you going to be on your toes.
After this I'm sure the next time you'll be there to assist with the breeding and only allow them to breed 1-3 times and every other day. Much better if you can assist and witness the breeding. That way you can insure that neither will get hurt....mostely the stud as the female can be very nasty during breeding and damage the stud to the point he will no longer be able to breed again
If the mating did result in puppies , the swelling will subside but, not completely go away.
