Answer
Hi Martha

What breed are they?   Is the male shorter than the female?  What day in her cycle is the female?  Do you keep them together all the time?  

You may need to assist in the breeding either by holding the female steady or doing A.I.

If she's early in her cycle she won't be interested in your male.

Keeping them apart and bringing them together only for breeding for maybe 20 minutes a couple of times a day will increase your males chances of accuracy.

Good luck
