Breeding my boston

Question
Hello its me again. My boston and stud have been breeding since the 24th the first day we recieved the stud. She started bleeding on the 16th at night or 17th day. They have tied everday since. Now they dont show that much interest in each other. Some but she doesnt seem like she wants to. More playful then anything. Do you think she took and is no longer receptive? Or should I keep the stud for a few more days? How long is normal for her to be receptive? She let him for 5 days... But now he licks but doesnt try to mount. She also is showing blood... Normal?

Answer
Hi Angel

Sounds like she's done.  Days 9 - 15 are peak times usually.  Remember it all depends when your female is ovulating.  Which is typically 7 days.  

Every female is different, so what is "normal" for one, may not be "normal" for another.    If he isn't mounting, then she's done. A little discharge (as long as there is no odor) can be just that, discharge.

Good luck.
