scouse moocher 0 Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 If its just the one dog been bouncing round sniffing its possible hes just abit hormonal or she may very well be due in season just not yet, Is there n e chance you could have missed her? some bitches are blaintantly in season, i e dripping blood obvious swelling ''fliratious'' throughout, etc others clean themselves constantly therfore making it hard to detect, and only stand for one day. ive worked in large breeding establishments and know every dogs different, keep a close eye on her especialy when shes around other dogs, they can tell you more than any text book mate. How olds she ? And have you thought it through sensibly?It can be very expensive ... Actualy mating alone can be hard enough and thats just the tip of the iceburg theres a multitude of potential problems, and theres loadsa lads on here who can give yer their tales, good and bad, that might sway you. Ive supervised countless births and as rewarding as the whole experience can be, you need to make sure ur 110% commited to the result of a mating, which doesnt stop when or, if, the pups are all delivered healthy and safe. Whelping is half of difficult battle. Especialy in the lurcher fraternity. not wanting to put a dampner on it mate or have a go, just hope you know what to expect, Goodluck in whatever you decide AnT :ph34r: Quote Link to post

sandymere 8,263 Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 mounting can be due to many things including dominence, frustration etc not just season. to give an example a couple of days ago i was on a 10k run around the burrows with my bitch, which is nowhere near her season, when some ejits lab comes over and tries to mount her she wips of and the fat lab follows. five miles later this frothing staggering creature is still gamely in pursuit although dropping slowly off the back. the owner appeared a little later in their car also frothing at the mouth, it seems she had set of in pursuit as well but hadn't got to far, i expect both have since had a heart attack.lol Quote Link to post
