I'm also thinking fertility problem but is there anything I can do? Should I give up? I was reading about estrus strips to see when she's ovulating anyone use these, do they work?
And yes the dogs did get 4 good ties, on Aug 9th she came into heat as far as we know that was her first day. We were on vac. for the 9 days prior to that and our daughter kept her. She didn't notice any blood while we were gone so I assumed she just started her heat on the 9th of Aug. The breeder had us take her assumed this time thinking that we must has missed ovulation the last time. (the studs had no interest at all that time) so anyway she was bred on days 14, 15,17,19. I kinda thought one more time would be good because she (the breeder ) started a little early but the stud had lost interest so we picked her up. She got so sick at about 2-3 weeks into it that we were sure it was morning sickness, but guess not.
