year's ago we had a gsd female that was champion sired and a wonderful example of the breed she never had pup's would just not accept the male we tried to do an ai an the vet ended up doing a scope to see why they could not ai her she had a blockage well they fixed it but we ended up spaying her at five years she would just never breed six months could be her regular cycle but you also need to make sure she does not have (Pyometra) or any other female problems also females accept the male at different times she just may not be ready to breed most are from 9 to 11 day's into there heat cycle before they will breed
PYOMETRA: Pyometra is a disease of the uterus in bitches. It is fast, can strike any intact female dog, and can often kill. For that reason it is worth being aware of. Pyometra is best imagined as being a bit like acute appendicitis of the uterus, the female dog's womb. The womb begins to shed layers, which easily become infected, they can stay trapped inside her body by the cervix, and after some time, the infection hits the body with devastating effects. The usual treatment has been an emergency spay, to remove the infected sexual organs, but as this prevents a bitch from breeding it is worth noting that some advances have been made in treating "pyo" with massive antibiotics for up to 40 days to bring it under control. Sometimes, for a prize dog, it is desired to get at least one litter from her before spaying, if pyometra happens suddenly before she has had pups. But this is risky and should not be done lightly. In any case, consult your veterinarian.
