Dog Breeding Trouble

18 13:41:57

Question
Yes, our female lab is in heat and we are trying to breed her with another lab. Unfortunatly, she is very ready but the male is having problems, he is not paying her much attention.Is there anything we can do to assist in this process or make him more attracted to her?

Answer
. Is he experienced? You might try encouraging him, and also leave them ALONE for awhile in a small area. How far into her cycle is she? He might just know she isn't ovulating yet. Have you had his sperm count checked? Is he on a stud supplement, or vitamin B supplement? These are always helpful. Separating them for a day sometimes can flag his interest as well.
good luck
