Pomeranians in heat, when to mate

Question
My pom is in heat and I was wandering how many days to wait before she's ready to mate? This is her fifth heat. Thanks in advance.

Answer
When she starts to flag, then she is ready to breed.  How you can tell this is that you run your hand down her back and she will stand and pull her tail over to one side.  Please before you breed her, make sure you have done all of your research.  If you want, you can go to my website.  It's about Shih Tzu but I do have a page up about the risks of breeding that you might want to read.  You can go to www.meilishihtzu.com and click on "So You Want To Breed Your Shih Tzu".
