Question
My boxer just started bleeding today, is it to late to get her bred?  And if so can you explain to me the right time to put her with the stud?

Thank you

Answer
It's probably not too late in her season to breed her; in the vast majority of cases bitches ovulate around 10-12 days after the first day of "color" (blood), which is when you would want to try breeding her.
