New to Forum/Dog Breeding Question
Posted: Tue Oct 22, 2002 1:35 pm
I'm trying to breed my female lab for the first time. She just turned seven, which I know is a little old, but since she's such a good dog, I wanted to have a litter before she got too old. She's been in heat about a week I believe. I have put her with the male twice, once when she'd been in only two or three days and once again last night. She snaps his head off and chases him away before he can even get "in position." I'm putting them together in my backyard which is large and fenced. Should I put them in a smaller kennel area? Other than soft music and a bottle of wine, any other suggestions on getting them "hooked up" would be appreciated.
