Breeding Question

[Susan123]

Aubrey, if she's on day 12 now, she's probably going to ovulate within the next couple of days. She should start flagging, it would be ideal to have a tie every other day. Hopefully today will be the day. Once it's too late, you'll have to wait another 6 months. You could try holding her gently (she may just be hardheaded not flag at all) and see how that goes. Debbie Jensens site has alot of helpful information regarding mating.

thank you so much, i appreciate all the advice I will just have to wait and see what happens in the next few days I will let you know, thank you so much again .

ok well she is still rejecting him, she gets really mad him, and when we try and help them, they dont seem to lock .......he seems all ready and willing and she just wont have it

When and If they do lock, make sure she is completely controlled. You don't want her turning on the male and attacking his face/head or trying to get away and injuring one or both of them.

ok thank you so much again, is it normal to try and help them ? I feel like im invading them , or her i should say ... ??

If the female is growling I wouldn't force the issue. Have never had to before, but maybe my females are just easy. I really think the females know when the timing is right and if they are not ovulating the mating doesn't do any good anyway.

The only part I play in it is keeping her calm and still after the tie.

[ssmiles1980A]

yeah i dont think i would ever force the issue, i think whatever happens at this point happens, i dont want to push anything on her, thank you so much everyone for all your advice and help, if anything comes to happen i will let you all know

thanks again

When did the red bleeding stop? Typically, ovulation occurs 3 to 5 days after that, but, of course, nothing is ever as easy as typical.

[ssmiles1980A]

she stopped bleeding 3 days ago, she just wont let him near her, she gets nasty toward him

[Lacy's Mom]

Most likely the first mating wasn't good then, but the second one could have been since sperm can live for about 48 hours. Hopefully, she'll change her attitude in the next two days.

Typical breeding for all my Vets and Breeder friends as well, start breeding at day 13 after the 1st day of blood. But if there is one thing I know about Yorkie Breeding, is they are NEVER typical! But honestly, you will probably be fine in a couple of days.

[ssmiles1980A]

To answer this, yes breeders at times have to be very hands on. Particularly after the tie, to protect the male from harm. You don't want her dragging him around, he has a bone that can be broken. Also, if the male is shorter that the female.

Here's a site that explains just how hands on it can get.

thank you for the site i will be reading all of that :
it seems that my male is a little shorter then she is, but not by much ..... and they dont seem to ever lock .....i try and hold her down and she doesnt get AS nasty .. but i dont see them hanging on long enough to lock even with us holding her down .
