Why won't my female dog stand for breeding when she's in heat?

Hi and thanks for your post. If Murci is not standing for the male, she is likely still in proestrus and not in estrus. Proestrus can last for a couple weeks and is marked with vaginal swelling and vaginal bleeding. You may need to wait a few more days until she will be behaviorally receptive to the male. I hope this helps! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

It is usually around day 12. If she sits that mean she is not ready or interested. Typically they will only stand when ready...there is nothing you can do to make her or help her. If you take her to the vet then can take a vaginal swab and tell you were she is in her cycle and give you a better idea of when she will be ready or if it had already passed

I'm afraid there aren't really any medications available for this purpose. Normally, the female will stand willingly for the male when she is at the right point in her heat cycle - if she won't let him mate, it's likely that it simply isn't the right time yet. If she truly won't allow him to mount her at any point during her cycle, this would be very unusual - but in that case you may need to do AI (artificial insemination) instead.

If two pets aren't interested in mating, you can try pheromones such as the Adaptil diffuser. However, in most situations you will have to resort to artificial insemination through your specialized veterinarian if you want to get the female pregnant. Ask your vet if this is something they specialize in, or if they have a referral vet for you to seek help from. Best of luck with those two! Take care.

It sounds like she may not be ready to breed yet - the male dog generally knows. Usually, females are ready for breeding somewhere around day 12-15 of their heat cycle, but this will vary depending on the individual female. If you want to know for sure, you can talk to your veterinarian about progesterone testing so that you'll know when she ovulates, and can time your breeding dates appropriately from there.

Rita is quite young, and she isn't fully mature emotionally or physically. She may not realize what she needs to do, which could be why she won't let the male mate. Dogs on their first heat under the age of one should never be mated, they are too young. Female dogs should only mate for the first time around two years of age.

Hi there. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. If Gracie does not want to accept the male there is not much you can do about that. You cannot force her. You can try leashing her so she doesn't try to walk away from him or lay down but I would be surprised if this helps. Sometimes it is just that particular male she does not like. If there are other Dogue breeders around maybe you should try another male. The only real suggestion I have at this point is to have the male's sperm collected and then inseminate Gracie via artificial insemination (AI). I don't know if your veterinarian is able to do this in Bangladesh so you will have to consult with them to see if this can be done. I wish I had some magic to tell you but unfortunately that is not possible. Hope this was somewhat helpful. Best wishes.
