Basic knowledge of dogs in heat and mating

This article will introduce you to the basic knowledge of dogs in estrus, including: the dog's estrus period, mating time, and the mating process and other basic contents of dogs in estrus.

1. Dog’s estrus period:

1. The estrus period of dogs is actually commonly known as "dog trouble". The first time a female dog goes into heat is usually over 6 months old, and the seasonality is obvious, usually once in spring and autumn. A few female dogs only go into heat once a year, and some go into heat three times. The obvious characteristics of a female dog in heat are: the vulva is red and swollen and has bloody discharge.

2. The seasonality of male dogs’ estrus is not as obvious as that of female dogs. They often go into estrus due to the stimulation of external hormones secreted by female dogs in estrus. The characteristics of a male dog in estrus are following the female dog, sniffing and licking the female dog’s vagina, crawling on its back, and becoming aggressive.

3. Generally speaking, it takes 9 to 15 days (average 12 days) for a female dog to have redness and swelling of the vulva and bloody discharge, and then ovulation occurs. At this time, she can mate and become pregnant.

2. Dog mating time:

Many friends think that dogs can mate as long as they have experienced early estrus. In fact, being sexually mature does not mean that you can mate and have children.

Generally speaking, female dogs often have not yet reached physical maturity when they go into heat for the first time, and their body organs, including the birth canal, have not yet developed well. You can get pregnant by mating at this time, but the number of offspring will be small, and the chance of dystocia will increase, which will hinder physical development. Therefore, it is best not to mate during the first estrus.

The choice of mating timing: mating during the ovulation period of the female dog. As mentioned above, it is most appropriate to mate when the vaginal bleeding of the female dog is about to end (about 9 to 15 days). Mating can usually be carried out on the 10th day.

3. Dog mating partners:

Generally speaking, the best dog breeding methods are:

1. The varieties are the same and the size is not much different, but inbreeding should be avoided;

2. It is best to choose a male or female dog in young adulthood. It is best not to consider dogs after seven years old.

3. Good health and no genetic diseases. The dogs of both breeding partners do not have epilepsy, cryptorchidism, heart disease, deafness, cataracts, dental malocclusion, hernia, bone and joint disease or serious skin diseases. After breeding such dogs, the puppies will be of the best quality.

4. Dog mating process:

If the male or female dog is experienced, the mating process will be very fast. However, male and female dogs mating for the first time will waste a long time in contacting and climbing with each other, or even fail. Therefore, the mostIt is best to choose one of the parties with experience.

If there is really no other way, help is needed. The key points are as follows:

1. Bring the female dog to a strange environment so that the female dog will be more docile; then choose a quiet environment with as few people around as possible;

2. You can choose land (or a place with carpet) to enhance stability. One of them fixed the head of the female dog to prevent her from turning back or swinging, and let the male dog crawl on its back to mate. Generally, all dogs with similar body shapes can succeed;

3. If still unsuccessful, you can observe whether the position of the female dog’s vagina is too high or too low, and you can appropriately raise or lower the height of the female dog’s hindquarters;

After the above steps, the two dogs finally successfully completed the transition from "youth" to "adult" at the right time and place carefully calculated. The rest is to look forward to the birth of Xiaoguai's offspring!
