[yvo1888]

I have decided to stud mycocker spaniel. yesterday we had a *** visit him but he didn't seem to interested in her. Could the *** not have been ready , her tail was going to the side and a silly question but how does the male know to do it if its never done it before all advice would be very grateful

i linned my *** a few years back and everything went ok.we tried once in the morning then once again in the evening.she wasnt happy a first so i left it then the second time it went realy well.maybe if you stand at a distance and see if she lets him take.or maybe let them meet up a couple of times first.she may not be ready yet???

Hope you have had all the relevant health tests done on your dog and made sure the b!tch has too.

Stud work is not that easy especially for novice owners/dogs. Some females will stand every day of their season, others only on a certain day. If she is not ready an experience dog would not bother with her, and she might have either gone past her time or not quite be ready. I would definitely not let them loose to see what happens, she may bite him or if they do mate and tie she might damage him by pulling away and trying to get away from him. Has she been premate swabbed by the vet? There is also the chance of infection to your dog if she is carrying anything. As for the dog knowing what to do, not all do! You might have to assist and at this point either the dog could lose interest, or bite you, or the female might bite you. Ihope you are not charging for this as he is obviously an unproven stud and I would not want to be paying for the service unless you/he knew what you were doing.

You may also have to help the dog turn during the tie, or else he can hurt himself or the ***.

Can I ask why you? Is your dog an excellent specimen of the breed?
