When you own more than two breeding bitches it can be difficult to detect when they came into season and who came in first, or in what order and ultimately when to mate!

My current situation of owning 7 dogs - 2 breeding retired, left me with 5. 1 of which was a male, so I was left with  4 bitches in season all mixed (housed) together. Did I have a clue who was in first, just about? Did I know who was second? Nope, plus I was hoping to breed 2 of them!

Check out my video below walking through the cycle of a season, the benefits of progesterone testing, the process, what the results mean and actions I took and why.

I will continue to blog the progress of these two females so you can follow the journey I'm on. Don't forget to down a copy of the '8 Vital considerations when your dog is expecting puppies' it answers the most frequent questions I'm ask when confirmation pregnancy via ultrasound.

New to breeding? or need a refresh?

Then check out my 30 minute Facebook Live video walking you through the options available to you, when it comes to ovulation testing.

Every breeder should be ovulating testing.   WHY?

• Increase litter size due to identifying and mating within the optimal window
• Reduce time and cost travelling to multiple matings
• Less time spent on unproductive matings
• Less stressful matings
• More information to determine due dates

If that doesn't convince you I'll give up  now!

Option covered include:

• Progesterone Blood Testing
• Cytology Swab (demo)
• Draminski
• Ovulation pads
• Saliva microscope
