Can dogs be not intrested in one another?

[misslissa]

Some of you may know I'm looking into getting a second dog for my brother and sister who are 11 and 17 We are actually looking into rescue right now but before i contacted a pug breeder(this is what my 17 year old sister wants) and Due to my lack of knowledge on the breed I decided to pass well the breeder must have forgot i was no longer interested in a puppy because she sent me an e-mail today telling me that
"there would be no puppies this cycle because the female and male scheduled to breed simply wear not interested in each other"
I thought breeding was instinct and a male was always interested in a female in heat.
she went on to say she placed them together on the second day of the cycle and they wear avoiding each other so her husband and her sat down to "help" and the male would still not tie with her.

I liked this lady because the females live with her and the males with her daughter (two of each) so they all can have free reign of the house and zero chance of accident. This news however deeply confuses me can anyone shed some light on it. oh and the last time the male breed was this past summer the last time for the female was this time last year.

It's very possible that the female was not ready, therefore the disinterest of the male. The timing has to right. A female will not stand for a male until she's ready to physically accept him.

Yes, it is possible for some dogs to not be interested in each other .
I had a female who hated one male and would not let him around her
during breeding time but she would let another male do the deed.
Sometimes the only way to get a breeding done when 2 dogs do not like
each other is to do an A.I.

Thanks, I had just never heard of such a thing as dogs not being interested.
