male shows no interest - Page 1

what we have is a 3 yr. old female <already had 1 litter> and a 2 1/2 yr old male.<never been bred>
She is in her 11th day of heat she is flagging tries to get the male worked up by jumping on him, sticking hind end in his face everything but actually trying to crawl under him.He will show alittle interest and might hop on her but only last about 15 seconds and gets down.At times he will try to get her worked up by just stomping his front paws,and nudging her with his nose.Kept the male away from her a whole day he would whine most of the evening but as soon as they get together nothing.Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions.I suggested to take to vet for in house A.i
thanks

It may be too early.Have you done progesterone test?I had a doberman male who showed little or no interest to a female if it was not the right time.His behaviour changed when the right time came.He behaved like this from his first female.At first I thought he wasn´t going to be s good stud,then I got it.He was 100 % reliable.I have a malinois female.We took her to a stud on her 13th and 15th day,the male was eager about her but she was very aggressive towards him.My doberman Hart wasn´t showing any interest in her but I was afraid that it may be too late.On her 18th day Hart started to act like crazy,he wanted to get to her kennel so I called the malinois stud owner if we could come once again and try if it will work this time.Female´s behaviour also totally changed,no aggression at all.I learned that I should trust my dogs´ instincts.
BTW,she had a litter of 13 pups.

 I AGREE WITH CAGE. YOUR DOGS WILL LET YOU KNOW!!

I anticipated someone would mention that.

Can dogs be gay?

Seperate from dominating behavior.

she's probably too early.  ai won't help if she hasn't ovulated yet - take her for progesterone testing, or wait and see if your male gets more interested in a day or two or three.

That can happen in females also.....females can all come into season, but a dominant female can cause the other females to not conceive...after they've been bred.

 Too early, or they don't like being watched. That happened to me once. Every time I'd hear rustling I'd go see if they were "doing it" and they'd go to opposite ends of the room like "we weren't doing anything, Mom." I'd see him climb up, I'd get all happy, and then he'd look at me and jump off.  I gave up, thought it wasn't going to happen. Apparently, when they had their privacy, it happened. They had 10 pups. 

Edited- interesting, Robin! I'd never heard that but in the above instance, I had 2 other females supposed to be bred and neither took. 

If you play show tunes does he get happy and dance?.
