Allowing excessive ties will not increase the chances of producing a litter so much as careful planning ties will. Excessive ties can actually damage your female and decrease the chances that her uterus can hold the litter.  Plus, males don't have an unlimited supply of that stuff, ya know...they do eventually start shooting blanks.
Next time, if you are unsure of which are the best days, have progesterone testing done so that you can plan ties without having to let them try so many times.
Just something to think about and research and be educated on BEFORE the next time around comes.

Thanks for the info. Things didn't go so smooth I know. We just got back from vacation and didn't have time to do any testing, but I would love to know how to do it myself next time. I can do a smear myself? Any info. is always appreciated! Especially from experienced breeders
