shaddow 166 Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 try leaving them together alone for a few hours , maybe the dog is a bit low or high Quote Link to post
gnipper 6,626 Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 When I tried to get a litter off my bitch the dog (v experienced) couldn't get it in so after a few attempts my mate got his finger lubed up and had a feel and she was too tight. Two days later he flew in. Quote Link to post
Pennymeadow Whippets 0 Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Is the bitch a maiden ? if so a vasalined finger will help is the dog a maiden ? if so practice will sort the job out let him keep trying are they the same sort of height ? is the bitch standing well or messing about ?

skycat 6,174 Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Just because a bitch is standing i.e. holding her tail to one side, doesn't actually mean she's ready. A lot of bitches will do that before their insides are ready. Keep trying every day: some bitches are ready as late as 21 days into their season. An experienced dog once refused to mate one of my bitches until she was day 21: then straight on and job done. At a previous season an inexperienced dog mated her on days 13 and 15 and she didn't take. Not set in stone that the dog was fertile as he was a maiden, but both times she had litters she was mated on days 21 and 23. They all vary. Quote Link to post
