QUESTION: 2 weeks.the male trys but cannot knot.hopefully he will

Answer
Cindy,
There may be a size difference that is interferring.  Or she may not be ready, although at 2 weeks she should be.  check with your vet to see if everything physical is ok with both of them.  You can also have artificial insemination if he is getting too stressed.  Usually if they don't tie, there is no pregnancy, but once in awhile their can be.
