Question
Hi there I have a 4 year old yorkie-poo who i breed with my 3 year old male dog which had a previous litter together.They mated on jan 31st waited 2 days and then they mated 9 more times and each time they tied if she was pregnant she would have had her pups 2 days ago.I am just wondering why she did not get pregnant.Or is it possible because she mated so much I have to look at the last mating date,Her heat was abit different this time around she bleed for about  19 days before mating is this normal.This was the first time her heat was like this.thanks

Answer
Hi Christine

If she bled 19 days BEFORE mating, I would have to say you missed ovulation.

I would suspect that she had an infection which can prolong bleeding.  It wouldn't hurt to have the vet check her out and maybe put her on a low dose of antibiotics to clear anything up.

Good luck
