| Worrisome question, please answer. I have 2 females that tied, one on 7/14 and the other on 7/15. I did not check for bleeding, really, I saw no blood. The first female didn't breed again until 7/21 and then my male went mad. The 2nd female didn't breed again until 7/17. This male went mad too. So what I would like to know is should I worry about the first time they each bred or do you think it was too early for ovulation? Sylvia |

I have never heard that before. Wonder if it is a new way of thinking or what. Hope we get some more answers. I have it marked from both dates on my calendar but it would be a lot easier if there is someone with experience who has had this happen. I hate to have to sit at home for 2 weeks waiting for these girls to have their babies. LOL Sylvia | |

| well when they get to a certain point it will be easier to tell when they are going to whelp. Also taking temps is usually a good way of planning.

| what days did you do the breeding on? 9th-15th? did you count 10 days from the first time you saw the bleeding? we need a little more information to be able to help you with determining the dates.

| I would go by the first date so you are ready and not caught off guard . Most of the time you'll know when she is close. Other times if you end up sitting at home playing the waiting game. |

| I'm not really sure, but I'd go by the first date. This way you're prepared.

| most breeders go by the 2nd tie but since i don't know what day she went into heat, it could be anyone's guess. sometimes dogs tie when they are not in heat. could this be the case? normally the tie is done on day 9, 11 or 10,12. if she would come back on, we can get more information and make a better educated guess. also...just a note, females ovulate at different times, hince the days you should mate them. the sperm can live up to 72 hrs so depending on the day she ovulated, it could be 72 hrs later that it took. so one of those ties will not take b/c they cannot conceive between that long of a span.

| Fresh sperm can live 5-7 days. Most breeders that I know go by the first tie. |

| I hate to sound stupid, but I'm new to YT, but I am confused. Her males went mad?? I'm confused, What does that mean? Am I missing some education on terminology? Just curious. Thanks, Laura |

| some siminars have suggested this as well as colorado university who found that the sperm lived for as long as 11 days.
