Breeding Females - Page 1

Good morning all!

I have a female who has been bred before however, it was her first time so she had to be held. I figured on her subsequent breedings she would be used to it but since then she has not bred. I'm not able to hold her because I'm her owner so when I'm around and another male is around she wont' pay him any attention. For her first breeding I had a friend of mine hold her in order to get the breeding done while I hid in the house. He has since moved away so now I have no one to hold my female for me. Is this common in bitches to have to be held in order to breed? Are there some bitches who never ever breed naturally? My female is not aggressive to males she even stands for them on her own but for some reason the male just won't penetrate. I have only used older experienced males. Any suggestions? Also I have talked to her breeder who owns her sister and he said he had to hold her even with his own male whom she grew up with? Is the ability to breed genetic?

You can't find anyone else to hold your dog?
How about the stud owner?
There could be genetic reasons why a dog could not breed, but standing is not one of them as far as I know.
Put them together in a kennel and turn your back, I bet they lock up if she's ready and he's got a pair.
I hold mine when it is a safety concern, if not I don't.
Perhaps she's just a little high strung.

I'm in the middle of a situation exactly like that, Gimmee. I'm not going to fool around with it; I've hired someone to do a fresh AI right there. Don't want to risk injuring that male. It's only like $150 extra, which to me is a cheap insurance policy. 

I also just asked the breeder about my females sister and he said the female he kept doesn't swell very big at all just like my female. So I think it is genetic. Do you think females who don't breed naturally or have small vaginas shoudl not be bred even if they are V rated and Sch titled?

Well let's just say I'm glad as hell I bred her mother. 3 out of 5 puppies in competition. 

Is your female small?  like a small framed? We had a bitch that was medium of the standard in height but was slight in the frame.  It took someone to help hold her up because she would "collapse" under the heavier male, which made it harder for him to penatrate her.  But sometimes you just have to help the male penatrate her with your hand.

Mine is very large. At risk of being considered even weirder, I actually stuck my finger in her vulva while I was trying to breed her, trying to figure out why the male couldn't do it. I had heard that a "feathering" motion would make her vulva relax. Well, it clamped down on my finger and I wasn't sure I was going to be getting it out of there! I guess that's what a tie feels like to a male. Anyhow, she would clamp down WAY too soon and the male couldn't get in at all. Tried with 3 different males, too, in 3 different heats of course. Nada. At one point we finally panicked and did a makeshift ai on our own...and it took.

Sigh. The adventures of being a pervert. 

I,ve always found that it,s all in the preperation to the breeding, Try some light banter soft lites a nice lite meal followed by a few drinks always make eye contact be strong but not forcefull. Then I like some Luther Vandrous or some Sonatra be sympatahtic but not needey and always appear to be intressted in what she is saying things alway go horizontal before the nite is over... hope this helps. 

She is a very large female. YOu can view her under Viernheimi Fanta
