I have an unusual question.
I've found a bitch for my dog, and an owner as keen as I am for a litter from the two.
The bitch is in season, they've met and really seem to get along, he's shown interest, but just, well, not enough interest.
If anyone has every bred, could you tell me of any hints to persuade him to perform?
There's a pup and a cash bonus at stake for me here!

If either of them are very young (under a year or so) they may not have got the hang of things yet.
Normally the issue is the girl not accepting the boy, rather than the boy not being interested.
They may appreciate a little privacy too, so giving them a quiet area that you can peep into unobtrusively may help.
I am not aware of viagra being licensed for dogs, so you can stop even thinking that.
Feel free to message me if you want any more detailed advice

Thanks Ironduke.
Both are nearly 5, so quite old for first timers. She is as keen as mustard and was trying to pen him into a corner tonight. He's interested, but hasn't attempted anything yet. We tried putting them into the other owners stable, but they both became quite upset. Having another try tomorrow, so fingers crossed the little floozy gets her wicked way.

So he'd be half-pissed and shouting abuse at the 'mutts' on tv?
Sounds much like my husband.

On the contrary.
It's the very state I hope my husband ends up in every evening.
It leaves me in peace to not write satire.

Have you tried putting them in front of the scene from Lady and the Tramp with the Italian restaurant?
Works for me.

Rick, they re-enacted that scene tonight with a long blade of grass, all the humans went 'Ah!' and the dogs looked at us as though we were quite mental.
Al, stop digging. You'll be through to Rick if that hole you're standing in gets much deeper.
We have considered that, but he does seem very interested in her, but not actually doing anything.
Perhaps he's agnostic.

Invite the vicar over for tea, put the two of them outside, tell them to behave and then watch the vicar's eyes pop out when they get at it
Having been through the whole cycle, it is usually the bitch not accepting the dog but it does depend on where in the cycle she is ...
Ping me a message if you want and I can tell you what we went through as the arranged canine marriage that we endured took some organising,... what with the venue, her dress, his stag night etc ..

Thanks bpr, I'll do that.
Rikkor, I know she'd just love you, but her owners want another Lab.
A Lab/Shepherd cross is one of my own favourite half-breeds though, you get the best of both worlds.

Sorry, mixed race.

Must admit I chuckle when someone bases their purchase of a Labradoodle on the myth that they are hypo-allergenic, then discovers that not all 'doodles are.

Without wishing to be too graphic Jeni, first-timer dogs can sometimes need a bit of, er, manual stimulation to work out what it is they need to do. (We discovered this from an elderly aunt who bred French Bulldogs when in a similar siutation...her matter of fact "well you'll have get him excited yourself then" was a bit startling.)
(wo)mans best friend and all that.

"Fillejolly", yes, that's something that we'd heard too, and to be quite honest, were rather hoping to avoid. I have attempted scratching his back, just above the tail as that can often lead to him being, erm, excited.
Would really rather not have to go down the Rebecca Loos route.
bpr, around here in the posh suburbs Jackadoodles,Cockerpoos, etc are seen in increasing numbers, and they are beginning to outnumber the traditional Lab/Golden Retriever.
I have a friend who is currently dog-sitting a Scottish Deer Hound while his owners live abroad, and she is quite determined to breed him with her mother's standard poodle.
I dread to think which combination name might be thought up for that!

I have two points to make:
For a long time, and perhaps still, there was a component of the Bristol Vet School course that involved obtaining a semen sample from a dog. Manually. This was known generally and occasionally referred to at student gatherings by those who attended other vet schools. Of course, it was raised discretely and politely, as you would expect. And before you ask- Liverpool, me.
Secondly, I was once called out to see a scruffy little terrier owned by a rather gruff old gentleman. When I enquired as to his name, I thought he said 'Jack Shit'. 'I beg your pardon, I need to enter this on the computer, would you mind saying that again?' I said in my most restrained and polite 'the bill is rising with every breath I take, numbnuts' voice. He looked me in the eye, cracked a smile and said 'Mother was a Jack Russell, Fatha was a Shih Tzu. Jack Shit'.
I gave him a discount.

He's a pathetic, useless excuse for a dog.
We locked them in a stable for half an hour and left them, crept back to check only to find them side by side, fast asleep.
And not a post-coital fag or beer in sight...

I've never been squeamish, nor one to shy away from animal unpleasantness, but think this is just a step too far for me.
Of course, Mr B refuses to assist on the grounds that it's "just plain wrong".
I don't see why it's any different with me...
