I have a female that is on her 9th day of being in heat.I have put four males with her but they wont mount her. She will stand cant figure out why they wont mount her. I have bred one of the males probaly atleast six times. Is it too early or what?

I'd say keep trying, next few days you should have .....Lock up!

I had this with an older female last time she was bred. Her receptiveness was much past the time frame we suspected. She was bred later and took later and had a pup. I would just keep trying and maybe leave them in with her and hour or so as long as they don't tussle over that situation.

They will know when she is ready, my vet said he has seen many females stand all thru there heat cycle and not be ready to breed. Good luck!

Typical heat cycle is 3 weeks long. 1 week of swelling, 1 week of bleeding, and 1 week of breeding. If she is only 9 days in, she is still bleeding, not ready yet. Even during the week of breeding there may be some discharge(maybe not) but it will be pink. If he is not interested, either she isn't far enough along in the heat cycle, or it could be she is not having a GOOD heat cycle. At any rate, there are those females that vary from the typical. Good advice is to keep trying. I usually try every 2 days.
Thanks,

It's either too early or maybe she just talks too much.

Maybe your males are all pitches.

Must be an East Ridge Hound. Lol

So your right there Casey. I bet they was natural stump broke too. From what I hear them east ridge dogs stump break easy if not MR.East Ridge himself will get them broke in just a few days.

You need new material and you both are hijacking this guys post. Get over yourselves.

But it's so funny twilight!!!!

It has been my experience that males try to mount too early and too late and it is the female that decides when it is time. Is she flagging (moving her tail too the side for an unobstructed path to the homerun)? If not she is NOT ready. Maybe she has said NO, loadly and the guys giving her space. Nothing like a bitch on the rag to cause you to loose interest.

My male wont take much notice either to my dads female she even curled her tail. My dad put his neutured male toy poodle in there and she stood but my male wont! He has never bred before not sure what to do?

It must have been too early he is all over her now.Its on like Donkey Kong.
