My 3-year-old Akita isn't getting pregnant after multiple breedings.

IF you really want her to be pregnant I would recommend taking her to a reproductive veterinary specialist. It is important to make sure she is ovulating and her uterus is healthy and can carry puppies. Some dogs like people cannot get pregnant. Also, you want to make sure your timing is correct on trying to breed her. As soon as you see signs of heat make sure she is able to be placed with a male.

There are many things that could be going wrong. She could have some kind of infection or an anatomic problem. She is also a bit on the older side especially for her breed. Even though the stud has aired puppies in the past his sperm quality may not be as good for various reasons. I’d recommend seeing a vet to start - your best bet would be to find someone who is particularly interested in reproduction in your area. They would probably recommend blood work after an exam and might recommend some infectious disease testing. When she is ready to go into heat they might recommend hormone testing to help determine the ideal time to breed.

There are a couple of reasons why Bambi isn't getting pregnant. The most common cause is bad timing, not mating at the optimal timing during her heat cycle. The best time to mate a female dog is from 9-14 days of her heat cycle. Other causes include a failure to ovulate, cycle normally, refusing to accept a mate, an inability to conceive, or an inability to maintain the pregnancy. First step is to have her seen by a vet to make sure everything is normal reproductively. I'd make an appointment to have her seen by a vet sometime soon to discuss her problem with getting pregnancy. Best of luck!

There are many things that could cause infertility. You would need to get her to a veterinary reproductive specialist to get a diagnosis; they will let you know if it can be corrected.

She may have ovarian cysts or other hormonal problems that keep her from cycling properly. I suggest you take her to a veterinarian who can give her a proper breeding exam, take some blood to check her hormonal status and do some vaginal cytology to check her cycle status. He can also do an ultrasound exam of the ovaries. Once he has all those results he can make a plan on how to start her cycle, ie get her in heat to be bred.

Yoko should be examined by the veterinarian. She could have a developmental bone abnormality or a spinal condition. Infections in the nervous system and certain types of parasites can also cause these clinical signs. The doctor will get a better idea from the exam and may recommend some testing. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

I would recommend not breeding her anymore and getting her spayed. It is possible that she is unable to get pregnant again. If you would like to know for sure I would take her to a veterinarian for bloodwork to check her hormone level. However with her getting older it might be time to retire her and stop trying to breed her.
