EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

not new to the breeding world but havent really encountered with these problems either,
got a gyp its her first heat. normally id wait and let em mature but im dying to see wat shes throwing!

pinned her up with my YBMC and hes staying at it( but shes not giving it up easy from what i can tell)... if i got i timed right shes only got a couple days left to be in.
- ive been watching em and cant rlly tell if they locked r not. although he is showin the dominant superior role now well as before he was non stop all hussle.

**** i need a way to be sure they lock up! im clueless.
and need help quick!

Im not understanding, they either lock up or they dont. If they are locked they will stay that way 10-20 mins. If they separate right after initial breeding then their not, but the gyp could still get bred.

Hold her on a lead, let him breed her them put them back in there kennels

he may be dry humping, aint findin the right spot. i hav a gyp that i hope got bred, n the same with ur gyp, she had limited time left n he wasnt even mounting her. i thought i bought a gay dog, so i talked to the guy i got him from n he said he aint nvr bred, n no sooner i get off the phone, my looked out the window n they were locked up, n got locked anothr time or 2. i hope she took n hope her litter lives. the last time she had a litter, all pups mysteriously died, or that is what was told to me.

 From what I always understood a gyps heat cycle is 3 parts over 3 weeks, first week swelling begins and a lil bleeding, 2nd week bleeding clears up, clear fluid is present, still swollen. This is the week I understand is the only time period the gyp can be bred or the best chances the pregnancy will take. 3rd week the gyp starts to come out of heat, less fluid present and swelling is going down.  You say by your timing she only has a few days left to breed, is it her 2nd week in heat? If its her 3rd week she may not be able to be bred this cycle.

Stop trying and worrying over it and it'll happen. Your probably give the old boy performance anxiety. O0

Throw some dirty magazines in their pen to get her in the mood.......

The way I see it, is let nature run its course. If she isnt taking in her first heat, maybe your original comment is right in that she shouldnt be bred this early. When she is ready, it will happen.
