MATING YOUR BITCH

 Progesterone Testing                                               

I recommend that bitches coming to my dogs are progesterone tested prior to mating. Bitches can ovulate anytime from Day 9 to Day 28 so it is beneficial to be sure rather than guess "around day 12" .

This involves blood tests taken preferably at a Fertility Clinic rather than a vets as most vets (not all) have little experience of progesterone testing and are telling people that bitches are ready to mate at 16 nmol/L when as you can see from the above chart they are nowhere near ready at that level! I ask that you message me with the result of each test and I will tell you whether your bitch is ready or not. Please ensure they give you the result not just ready to mate!

If you need some help finding a Fertility Clinic please message me and I will help point you in the right directon.
