It is advised that you give close supervision and keep them calm. You do not want a larger female getting scared and panicky to swing the male around by his penis, as it will get bruised and may make a repeat breeding failure. Do NOT attempt to separate. You do not want the female to panic and start squirming. If she is larger than the male she can really hurt the male. He is helpless and will usually stand perfectly still, waiting. The male usually stands calmly; make sure the female does the same.
Some females cry in what looks like pain, some desperately want to get free, some just seem to calmly wait. After a tie, it is good to not let the dam pee for 15 minutes, but MOST important is to check your male, and make sure that his penis has gone back inside of him and is not strangled in hair or stuck out.
Most dogs stand for a tie and it is important that you do not let the dam roll around or get too frisky and hurt the male, but this particular dam insists on lying on her back.
I only do supervised ties Accidents can happen. After the tie they are separated, with their great disapproval, for at least 24 hours to allow his sperm to build back up. With a younger male under four years 20 hours is enough, but with an older male, you may want to increase this time to hours. It is wise to check with your vet.
During this stage, the male will continue thrusting until the sperm phase of ejaculation. During the sperm phase, the male will deposit the semen in the vagina.
The enlarged tip of the penis seals the vagina at the vaginal vestibule giving more time for the eggs to be fertilized. If you are not careful, you might think that the job is done, once the male has finished thrusting and has deposited the semen.
This is the moment where the dogs especially young or inexperienced dogs can get hurt. The first time I ever assisted with a breeding, I noticed that the breeder almost secretively got closer to the dogs while the male was thrusting. She did not talk to the dogs, or even face them. But, as she was looking at me, she casually moved toward the dogs and signaled me to follow. However, the female was a first-timer. She became very disconcerted by the fact that she was still connected so intimately to this other dog.
The breeder told me to kneel next to the female and hold her collar so she would not be able to go anywhere. The copulatory tie will last anywhere from 2 to 30 minutes. The variation will depend on the breed, size, and experience of the dogs involved. I have never seen a tie last less than 8 minutes or more than That may be due to the fact that I have spent most of my time around Labrador breeders. During intercourse, a part of the male dog's penis called the bulbis glandis swells and prevents him from pulling out.
Essentially, the pair are locked together until the swelling subsides. From an evolutionary perspective, the copulatory tie helps them make the most of every opportunity to produce offspring," Marty Greer, DVM , author of Canine Reproduction and Neonatology and co-owner of Veterinary Village in Lomira, Wis. Dogs remain stuck together at the end-stage of mating for five to 45 minutes, says Greer.
The male dog dismounts and ends up rear-to-rear with the female. Dogs new to mating may experience a bit of anxiety at being locked together, but it's a natural process. Help your dog to remain calm and stand still until the two can safely separate. This will occur on its own once the male dog's arousal subsides.
The longer dogs are stuck together in a copulatory tie, the greater the chance that the semen will reach the eggs. But pregnancy in dogs is never guaranteed, Greer says, "Just like in people, not every mating is successful.
According to the American Kennel Club , a veterinarian can determine if your dog is pregnant with an exam or an ultrasound around 25 days after mating. You may also see signs of pregnancy about three weeks after mating, such as:.
If you're worried your dog has accidentally become pregnant, reach out to your veterinarian as early as possible to discuss options. It's rare, but not impossible for a neutered dog to get stuck when pairing up with a female.
