Peeka Boo I See You! Donating Member | Crazy Ovulation Test COME SEE!!! Ok this has to be one of the strangest things i have ever heard but if true could help a lot of you breeders in determining ovulation for breeding... I was having a weird convo with my friends mother she knows a breeder and she was talking about her breeding she told me they read in a breeding book that you could do an ovulation test called a glucose fertility test what it said was.. ****At the time of ovulation, Glucose is secreted into the vagina and can be detected by inserting a strip of Glucose Enzymatic test tape into the vagina, if the edges or whole thing turns green that the female will be ready to breed in 24 hours.**** I looked at the book she had and it does say that the book is " The Joy of breeding your own show dog" by Anne Seranne I was just curious if any of you breeders have ever heard of this i don't want to look like an idiot and argue it if it's true lol Thought this would be an interesting topic i would love to hear from you all on it

| I tried that years ago as it was recommened by quite a few knowledgable breeders. It works just fine but I found that my males are just as good at predicting ovulation. |

| test My friends used them from time to time, but I have not found them useful...breeding two or three times always seems to do it. |

I am not even sure what these strips are? Are they like the diabetes blood tester things?

Peeka Boo I See You! Donating Member | I did a search on estrus strips lol i wasn't sure what they were this is what i found - Estrus Test Strips #83-605-Z so i am assuming it is kind of the same thing right? or do they have to pee on these? this is all very intersting i have never heard of any of this so it's kinda cool to see what breeders say about it all Thanks for answering my weird thread lol.

| breeding It never mattered to me if they ovalulate early or late...sperm has a healthy "shelf life"...so breeding 2 to 3 times always gets it done..but that is just my bitches..with stud service I insisted on 3 breedings for a new bitch...and misses were not a problem, but I understand the need for strips if you need to know exactly...I just never need to know exactly...getting a Yorkie pregnant has never been a problem...preventing a litter takes more thought for me..LOL |
