Love was in the air. The grass looked greener, the flowers smelled sweeter and everything seemed right with the world.
Since you are reading this series I will assume this is your first time. What you are about to read are the basics and should not be used as the only guide you read, nor should you attempt this alone. There are several reasons for this, which I will cover as we go along. Please be warned, this will be a bit graphic, so if you find this difficult to read, breeding is not for you. Breeding dogs is a serious business and if you value your pets you will do everything you can to ensure their safety. Do not... put Maggie and Jake in the back yard and hope for the best. Accidents happen, any mishap can end up costing you major vet bills at the very least or the loss of a treasured pet at worst. Lets start with the stud. Male dogs are not, I repeat, not built like human males. Though the human penis can grow very hard there are no bones inside unlike the male dog. Several things happen to the penis during mating that, if not handled properly, can be very painful and even damage the stud for life. Once the stud achieves penetration the penis substantially engorges and the glands at the base that appears like a large knot will also swell. This knot along with the contracting muscles of the vagina will lock the coupling pair. This connection is called a "tie". Once the pair is tied they must be kept together until mating is complete and the males' organs have shrunk enough to allow him to slip free comfortably. A tie can last from 10 to 45 minutes so be ready to wait. The person handling the stud should be an experienced breeder especially with an untried stud. During breeding all male dogs will become excited and attempt to mate, but an untried male will often miss his mark and need to be guided by hand or he will over tax himself and become frustrated. It is very important for a new stud to be successful in order for him to become a confident mate in the future. If things do not go well the first time he will shy from breeding and become difficult to handle. This can be a major problem since the breeding is orchestrated predominantly by the stud.
