Breeding my Miniature Schnauzer

Question
Hi!  
I have a female Miniature Schnauzer.  She's 3 years old and we're ready to breed her.  I already found a "boyfriend" for her but I wanted to know if it would be best for me to take her over to her boyfriend's house or if he should come over.
Thanks

Answer
Hi Tessy

Before anybody goes anywhere you want to do brucellois testing.  A STD will sterilize your female and be fatal to any pups.

It really doesn't matter who goes where, what does matter is timing.  You are best to bring them together around the 9th day of her cycle and get them acquainted. Then start breeding days 12 - 15.

Good luck
