Mary,
when we went to their home, we went into the sitting room and, after the man rechecking her pedigree etc, he went and got the male. he got down on the floor and held kuki, but she kept trying to lie down... every few minutes-every 2 or 3 attempts from the stud- he was lifting kuki and waving her a little in a semi circle- and im assuming this was to keep the male interested. but kuki is quite a shy girl, so i think this may have put her off a little and i had considered saying this to them, but i dont want to be rude (or silly) because they have soo much more experience than me...
i will deffinately talk to him again tomorrow (because i really am hoping that i havn't missed kukis this time round) and suggest that and focus on keeping her calm... would her having a minute or two to become more familiar with her surroundings help (if the owners dont mind of course)?
thanks for all the advise- and i'll call my vet too tomorow to see about the progesterone test!
i'm hoping to begin showing with a pup from kuki and this male, so please hope this isn't too late! |
The advice I gave you was from one of the top breeders in the US Jay Amon/Montclair (now deseased). She could complete even the most difficult of breedings. Even two virgins.
Another thing, ask if they know how to AI (artifically inseminate). I think I'd be a bit more comfortable with that anyway. Just a bit uncomfortable with what you've provided on these breeders. It could very well save your girl from an infection.
You're girl should have been held, her head facing you and your arm underneath her and spreading her for the male. Did the breeder dialate her. Putting on a surgical glove and applying KY Jelly to his little finger and gently dialating her.
