hi all

my dog came into season 1 day ago the first show of blood.

i have also another dog,so my question is when and how long to seperate them.

i thought 2 weeks after the show of blood but i maybe wrong.

thanks

Keep them separated and preferably so the dog can't see the bitch for at least 3 weeks: most bitches are ready to stand from 11 days onwards, usually for about 5 days, but I had a bitch who wasn't ready to mate until day 21 of her season! Don't take any chances, and it's kinder to the dog if you can get her right away from him: not quite out of sight out of mind, but if she's right next to him or he can see her then its obviously going to be pretty stressful for him: some dogs go right off their food and fret all the time, others have less sex drive and arent'so bothered. AND it only takes a second for a dog to tie: sod's law that if you wanted a mating they'd be trying for ages and not manage it, and if you don't want them to mate all you have to do is turn your back and they're tied!

 

I usually separate dog and bitch until her vulva isn't swelled up any more and she's stopped leaking blood of any colour: red or straw coloured, but my dogs will still get all unnecessary ovetr a bitch until about a month from the start of the season!!
