Females are in heat for 3 weeks and often a female will accept a male all the way to the 21st day or longer. I have had some females accept a male very early in her heat cycle and others that would want nothing to do with the male until the 14th day. They are all different. Some breeders do progesterone testing so they don't have to guess. |
All right, I'll give this a try when one of females comes in heat, in March. You do those three days, and then just once a day? Guess I'll have to cage my little male -- he's never been caged, so he won't like it at all. If we don't have so many 2 ounce puppies, it will be worth it!
