There is a lot of information on a pedigree. There are basically three types of mating: - line- breeding- in- breeding- out- crossing.

Generally. most bitches have about an eighteen day cycle, with the bitches ovulating. However, there are many exceptions. We have had bitches. The. best way to predict when a bitch is going to ovulate is to perform progesterone. These characterise the bitches heat. The values obtained are compared. The. can then estimate how many days from the last test it will be before the. This technique generally gives you a few days notice so. Other techniques in use are simple microscopic techniques, to examine cells. The cells change shape as ovulation approaches. One bitch of ours ovulates at 1. Now you need to organise a time for the mating. It is generally a good. The. mating process can be difficult as males can be awkward, or tire before. It is common. practice in many countries, to opt for AI's rather than natural mating. The benefits. are: - you can check the virility of the sperm- you know the sperm has been deposited- safer to dog and bitch- you can inseminate at the optimum time without relying on the bitch to. The downsides are: - dogs that perhaps couldn't mate naturally or perhaps shouldn't be mated. This gives the dog a steady platform, and can. AIWhelping.

What has so. dramatically changed between the present and one hundred years ago? I may. have stumbled upon a partial answer. For the last four and a half years, I have conducted an experimental diet. I am not a scientist or great theorist. I am not even a writer as this will be my first attempt at writing. I can claim is. that this program has worked for all my bitches and the few others who have. I realize I put myself before the judgment of. A Short Personal History. For me, being owned by my Bulldog started in l. We bred our first bitch. Libby in 1. 98. 2 to a proven champion. In her initial litter, there was one. I had never heard of such a thing! The puppy. was saved by an injection of Lasix (a diuretic) and frequent stimulation. Our second litter was a bigger disaster. Five out of nine were water puppies. From here only one was lost. The same procedures. Lasix and frequent stimulation. The third and fourth litters were beautiful with no problems whatsoever. They were Jane. and Star. Jane was too shy for the show ring and was, therefore, retired. Star was just the opposite and was a pip. A few months after her winning her first major, Star came down. She was placed into a private home. Finally, she gave. Two others died. shortly after delivery. We did not feel that the two surviving bitch pups. Unfortunately. in spite of repeated breedings, Jane never conceived again. After losing Star, and still trying to breed Jane (unsuccessfully I might. I decided to purchase a new puppy and start all over again. Maggie. With help from a friend and respected breeder- judge, we were able to purchase. Maggie. It was Christmas- time l. I have. ever had! A natural in the show ring, she was pointed on her first show. Needless to say, she never finished her championship but I learned so much. With Maggie, I really wanted to do things right. After studying pedigrees. Maggie was fed the best food available available on. Five weeks after breeding, Maggie did not seem well. I had never seen this before. The few people I asked. I was talking about or had never heard of such. Maybe it was another . Her appetite did improve. She was. always drinking water.. She became HUGE with puppies and we were getting very nervous. Finally. she could not hold anything down including the water she craved. She started. to cry out when she retched. At this point, we rushed her to the veterinarian. The doctor could hardly believe the size of this normally 4. He drilled me on my breeding dates finding it. The doctor. felt a uterine rupture was imminent and we had to take the pups NOW! When I first saw the puppies, the disbelief and anguish were beyond my. TEN.. that’s right.. TEN huge, dead water. Maggie was fine and would recover her strength with time. It was. going to take me much longer to get over this tragedy. I was almost ready. I mourned and grieved with Maggie. The dog had been through. I could not do this anymore! Why. did this happen? It was November of l. The following year, I bred Maggie to a different sire and learned about. She gave me one baby girl with. We saved this baby, had corrective surgery done at four. This would be Maggie’s last try at motherhood. She. was the only breeding bitch I owned. The thought of starting over again. Maggie. I bred her to another. All. of them were edamatous and the bitch's uterus was swamped with excess fluid. We saved six of the seven babies, one of. Patches) we kept for ourselves. Patches. She was spoiled to no end. Strong and healthy after a rough start, she. She finished. with all her majors coming from specialties. She was her sire’s twelfth. Maggie) only champion. And she was our. first homebred champion in 1. I spent hours on pedigrees and at ringside observing conformation and gaiting. Patch. A selection made, the breeding went. I was reading. the newspaper at the kitchen table and sub- consciously noted Patch drinking. She returned to rest on her bed. Time passed and it registered again. Patch was up and drinking water. Now this caught my attention!
