Hallo,
can anybody tell me if there are hormon testing kits to buy to determine the perfect days for mating. Or can only the vet do them?

I feel the later one breeds a bitch the more hormones she drops to catch for a nice litter.
I bred Rosessat last year one time on the 16th day, first litter she gave me ten pups one died immediately, raised 9 pups and sold all equal of size, color, temperment, etc. Just a personal thing that has worked for me, could just be luck have it. but I truly feel the female produces more eggs later on in heat if u do not miss it and breed during the late days u will have a larger healthier litter. Honest!!

Wildthing, Science doesn't follow your theory..
Every bitch is different. My bitch won't even ALLOW a breeding before the 17th day. By your statement I should have huge litters. She will breed for a week so from 17 days till 24...
6 pups.
The important thing is knowing when she ovulates. There are several tests out there that vary in technicality and accuracy for home use. After spending mucho-moola on progesterone testing, and also on slides that gave me ill timed advice I learned to listen to my female and the stud dog. (not without losing some hair though!)

Yes I agree with BlackIce, Ovulation period matters alot, I had this bitch mated on the 12th and 13th day and had a litter of 12 puppies which is not a small litter!
