Article: To breed your female dog with a male dog, you will need to find her a suitable mate. Look for a male dog of the same breed who is healthy and has no genetic faults or issues. You should meet with the male dog's owner beforehand or with the breeder and discuss the dog's health and medical history. You should also confirm the male dog's age. Most breeds should mate when they are between one year to seven years old. Make sure you talk with your vet before you mate your female dog with a male dog. Your vet should clear your dog of any health issues or problems before you start the breeding process. Often, male dogs do better when they mate with a female dog on their territory or home area. You may discuss bringing your female dog to the male dog at the ideal breeding time with the male dog's owner. Set a mating date based on your female dog's heat cycle so the mating occurs when she is most fertile. Do not mate your dog on her first heat cycle. Wait until she has had one to two heat cycles to mate her. This will ensure she is healthy enough for mating. You may also arrange for two matings between the dogs, twenty-four or forty-eight hours apart. This can help to increase the likelihood of your dog getting pregnant. Once the breeding date is set, you should bring the female dog to the male dog in a stress-free environment. The male dog's owner should set up a space that is clean and open for the breeding. If the female dog is in the right stage of her heat cycle, she should warm up to the male dog pretty quickly. She will show signs of attraction, and if the male dog follows suit, the breeding should occur rather naturally. If the mating is not successful, you may ask the male dog's owner about next steps. Professional breeders may offer a free service or mating session next time to make up for the failed breeding.
