mirasmom- May have been to late? What do you mean?

A vaginal culture and sensitivity is very important and should be done every time you breed, most stud owners will want it if they are smart. Especially if the breeding is a natural cover. In addition to good bacterial flora, you may find an overgrowth of other "things" not so good, and mycoplasma is one of the foremost causes of reproductive issues. And her overall health doesn't matter, sje could be fine and still have something that would culture... it's really so simple and yet people resist it so.

Personally, I am sold on progesterone testing and am very fortunate that my vet has her own machine so my results are obtained and evaluated in house and quickly! there are different tests and different ways to interpret them.

A good repro vet is a godsend.. and like molly said, it is what is it or isn't....

She is young, if it doesn't go this time.. then there is next time..

Gsdlvr2, I meant to say, when you bred her on the sixteenth day , she may have not still been

ovulating, cause you can still have a good tie, & come up empty.

Too bad there isn't a pregnancy test for dogs, it's just kind of a wait & see game.

thanks mirasmom. I went back again last night and looked at the records including my studs behavior and he was absolutely nuts for her, whining,not eating, {the usual} from the evening of day 14 of her cycle {the night before the good tie } and continued his whining for another day and 1/2 or so. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for the best. In the past he has also been a good indicator and I am now questioning if the mating on day 13 of her cycle may have been a little early for this particular cycle. Of, course it's true that either she is or she isn't. I guess I have always been fortunate not to come up empty. She was bred and tied on day 15 not 16 as I originally posted- my mistake. I know it's a wait and see thing but........I do also wish there was an pregnancy test for dogs. It could double as a stress reliever for owners lol.
