The subject of mating dogs may seem like something best left to the animals to handle for themselves. However, there are things you should know about each part of the process in order to keep your pets safe and healthy. From examining your reasons for breeding to understanding what happens when dogs mate, there's a lot to learn.
Appropriate Age for Mating Dogs
Now consider the proper breeding age for your pet. Females may come into their first heat cycle at six months old, but this doesn't mean they are ready for breeding. Likewise, a four to six-month-old male may be physically willing and able to produce a litter, but he is still too young to use as a stud. No dog should be used for breeding until physically and mentally mature. Breeding too young can deplete a dog's own resources, can stunt development and in extreme cases can result in injury and/or death. All dogs used for breeding should be up to date on all vaccinations.
General maturity guidelines:
Small dog breeds: Between twelve and eighteen months old
Medium size dogs: Between fifteen and eighteen months old
Large dog breeds: Approximately eighteen to twenty-four months old
Some will say that you can breed starting with the second heat, but it really should be dependent on their age and maturity as heat cycles can vary greatly from dog to dog.
In general, it's best to retire a bitch from breeding around age five, although studs may continue until approximately ten years old, depending on their fertility.

Preparation of the Bitch
Most importantly, you should observe your bitch for signs of readiness during her heat cycle. Ideally, it's a good idea to have your bitch bathed right before she is due to come in season, and have the hair trimmed away from the area directly around her vulva to present a clean and clear entry. As for nutrition, it's important that your bitch is at the desired weight for her size. Obesity presents problems during labor, and an underweight bitch is already starting at a deficit when she must share her own resources with growing pups
Selecting the Stud
When selecting a stud for a bitch, you should consider his size. While males are typically bigger than females, an ideal couple is close to the same size and weight. The female doesn't carry the whole weight of the male during breeding, but a significantly larger stud could hurt her. In addition, consider the size of the potential puppies when cross-breeding. If the puppies are too large for birth, the female dog may need a c-section.
Preparation of the Stud
Stud management is much the same as it is for the bitch although his role is much shorter in the entire litter production. The dog should be thoroughly bathed, and any excess hair carefully trimmed away from the sheath over his penis. It is possible for a male to give a bitch an infection, so taking care to keep the genitals clean and free of debris is essential. The stud should also be in good weight and fed a well balanced diet to maintain peak physical condition. However, it's wise to refrain from feeding the stud until after the breeding has taken place, or he may throw up his dinner
The Mating Procedure
Most canine couples are capable of carrying out a breeding under a watchful breeder's eye. However, you may need to help the dogs into position if one or both have difficulty. A bitch that is ready to be bred will allow the male to sniff and lick her vulva as she holds her tail up and out of the way. Ideally, the male will then mount the bitch from behind and proceed to penetrate the vulva with his penis.
The Tie
In just a few moments, two glands on either side of the penis will begin to swell inside of the vulva, producing a clamping response from the bitch that results in a tie. During the tie, the majority of the sperm are delivered into the canal. The male may choose to remain on top of the bitch, or slightly off to her side. He may also twist around so the two are facing in opposite directions. The important thing is to calmly keep them from pulling on one another so neither dog's genitals are injured. The tie typically lasts from ten to thirty minutes, and then the swelling subsides and the dogs can separate. A tie is normally needed for a successful breeding, however, a dog can still become pregnant even if they don't end up tied during breeding.
