For many parents who raise pet dogs, they hope that their dogs can grow up healthily. After parents bring their puppies home, the dogs will accompany us in their lives. We should also try our best to improve our professional knowledge of raising dogs and be responsible for the dogs. What makes parents most troubled by professional knowledge is the dog's estrus and breeding problems. Many parents end up making a mess because they have no experience. So when is the dog's estrus usually and when is the best time to breed? What should the owner pay attention to during the breeding period?
1. Dogs are seasonal estrus animals. They usually have estrus twice a day, focusing on March to May in spring and September to November in autumn. Dogs want to mate during the estrus, but not all dogs in the estrus are suitable for breeding. Parents should master the best time for dog breeding
2. How to determine the best breeding period for dogs?
First, blood drop determination method: When the bitch is in heat, blood will be secreted from the vagina. Generally, the first drop of blood in the vagina of the female dog is calculated. If a first-born dog is about 11-13 days after the first drop of blood is the best time to breed. Dogs that have already given birth can start breeding around 9-11 days after the first drop of blood. As you age, the breeding time should also be advanced.
But in summary, most female dogs are fertilized around 9-13 days after the first drop of blood in the vagina. If there are some female dogs with more cubs, they can also start fertilizing around 6-8 days after the bleeding.
Secondly, test it through male dogs. Because of the different physical constitutions of female dogs, you may miss the best breeding time for dogs through observation alone. Therefore, the estrus of female dogs can be tested through male dogs. Generally, when female dogs voluntarily accept male dogs' crossing, it is the best breeding time for female dogs.
At the same time, the best breeding time can be determined through the female dog's vulva. When the female dog first starts to estrus, the vaginal secretions should be relatively red. When the color of this secretion changes from red to straw-like yellow, it is the best breeding time for the female dog to check in.
In addition, when the female dog's vulva is swollen, we can open the dog's vagina with our hands for observation. If the internal mucosa in the vagina changes from dark red to light red, it is also the best time for dogs to breed.
3. Precautions for breeding
First of all, from the perspective of diet, parents should pay attention to keeping sufficient nutrition for their dogs, pay attention to the combination of meat and vegetables, and have a comprehensive and balanced nutrition. Otherwise, the dog's nutrition will not keep up with the nutrition and physical strength, which will lead to insufficient energy when breeding.
Secondly, you should be more patient with your attitude towards dogs. When the dog is in estrus, his temper will change from being docile and kind, and even cause irritability. Therefore, parents should tolerate dogs in estrus and not deliberately anger the dogs.
In addition, it is best not to bathe the dog before or after mating, as bathing can easily lead to miscarriage of the female dog.
Finally, during the mating process of dogs, parents should ensure the quiet and safe mating environment and do not disturb the mating of dogs, as this will affect the quality of dogs' mating.
