I have a bitch here now to be bred to one of my boys without testing and I feel like I am throwing darts in the dark! I don't anticipate problems getting her bred but boy I like having that extra information, esp. with a maiden bitch whose ovulation pattern is unknown. |
I asked my vet about that and I'm still confused. Do they draw blood? If she's not ready do they have to draw blood again? Or is it something else?
