Accidental breeding?

[jk6140]

Well I got home from work today and I instantly knew something wasnt right. Usually my dogs go nuts when they hear me scooping the food out of the bin. Today, I heard nothing. Walked out and found my female that is in heat in with my male. She is approx 4-5 days into her "cycle". She has never been bred nor has he had the chance to breed. What is the chance that they didnt breed? When is a female most fertile during her cycle? Any help or advice would be appreciated.

They usually wont stand until atlest the 8th day, ususlly a little later. You have a very good chance that she didnt get bred.
Good Luck.

If the female climbed in with the male and usually doesn't, there is a good chance she was ready to stand and is now bred.
Accidental pregnancies can be irritating , but still may produce good pups.
Good luck.

I keep them in the same above ground kennel with a fence divider in it. My male has been whining a bit lately. I actually was going to put him in with my other male in a totally different pen, just for my peice of mind. She must have found a weak spot in the fence and went into his side of the kennel. It hasnt been but a full day.

I have a little story about accidental breeding.This past weekend i had my dogs at a feild trail,in the champion class there was only 5 dogs so my male and female ran togather.My female had no signs of being in heat.To make a long story short my female won the hunt,and got bred by my male on the ride back to the club house.

I would be cautious of putting your 2 males together. 2 males in one pen with a female in season close by may spell disaster!

Yeh, you better put her in with the other male to avoid any fights

Maybe you guys can help me with my situation. I have a female that came into heat and I seperated her from my males. When I thought her cycle was about over, I would let her out with the other dogs to see how the males reacted. They had stopped following her and trying to mount her. As a matter of fact, she has started to snap at them if they tried.

After the third day of them not trying to mount her at all, I thought the coast was clear. I took her on a hunt with me and there was no problem the first two days. The second night I heard some fighting going on in the trailer. I walked outside to see what was going on, and one of my males had her hung!

What do you think?

There are a couple reasons why I keep my males and females in totaly different sets of kennels. One reason is because of what MasonBeagles posted above and the number one reason I do that is because I thought I was told or I read it somewhere that AKC has a rule where your males and females can't have any contact whatsoever while kenneled. Meaning that not even there noses can touch. I have a set of kennels for males and one set of kennels for females.
