breeding English Bulldog

Question
I have a sixty some pound male and fifty some pound female Bully.  I would like to breed them naturally.  However, the male is so much taller than her that they don't line up (if you know what I mean) and she is too weak to hold him up on her own.  They are very willing and cooperative when we try to help with the process.  I was wondering if there was any safe way of helping to prop her up some. For example, could we take a towel under her pelvic region and lift her a little while holding the male to release some of the weight factor?  Or any other suggestions. Thanks.

Answer
If you can manage this naturally, I have all the respect in the world for you. Sure you can try to prop her up with something. It definitely won't hurt. Either one or both run the risk of over heating and collapsing during the process.

My suggestion, find someone who knows how to do AIs.

Good luck.
