Hi, my bitch was mated on day 15 of her cycle - with a tie of 50 mins. Keith Shea had done an ovulation scan and advised me that day 15 was her optimum day. We took her on day 14 but could not get a tie and again day 15 with the above result. However, for another 2-3 days following her mating she was still acting "frisky" shall we say with my other bitches and was wondering if perhaps this was a sign that maybe she has not taken ? She is a maiden bitch, but a total tart when it came to the mating lol and totally fell in love with the stud dog (a Champion

)
I have bred litters before but cannot remember :rolleyes: if this bitches behaviour is normal. I would have thought if we mated her on her optimum day, she would have quickly gone off the boil after that .

Now worried that we would have been better going back to the stud for a third time just to make sure. I would be grateful for any advice as I am really hoping she is in pup as I plan to keep a bitch for myself.
