How to Breed a Male Dog
- 1). Introduce your male dog to the female dog before she comes into heat. Allowing interaction before breeding will help you know if their personalities are compatible. If the dogs try to fight each other, this is a good indicator that they will likely not mate with each other. If your male and the female are friendly with each other, there is a good chance of the mating being successful.
- 2). Plan to breed your male dog with the female about 10 to 14 days after she starts menstruating. Howtobreeddog.com suggests that a good indicator as to whether a female is ready is to scratch her in the area above her tail. If she moves he tail over to the side, she is ready to go. In addition, her vulva also swells when she is ready to mate.
- 3). Supervise any interaction between the dogs. While you do not want to interfere, you do want to make sure no fighting or injury occurs. If it seems as though your male dog is having problems entering the female, you may need to guide him inside her.
- 4). Know that the act of "tying" may take place during breeding. Tying occurs when the bulbus glandis in the male's penis swells, locking the two dogs together for up to 20 minutes, according dogbreedinfo.com. The male dog may turn around, so that the dogs' rear ends are touching each other. Help the dogs remain calm.
- 5). Place the dogs together for breeding about every 48 hours, until the female will not accept your male anymore. Always supervise, as the dogs may fight if the female is no longer willing to breed.
