My solid black stud dog knew exctly when they were ready, even from a crate inside the house and the bitch was kennled outside. I came home one day and he DEMANDED to get out of the crate, DEMANDED to go outside and went directly to her kennel. The last time he'd seen her she wasn't ready, but somehow the next day he KNEW she was ready and she was. He never showed much interest in a bitch in heat until she was ready. And he didn't mess around when he went for it either. But then he was trained by the best -- Inge came down for two of his first breedings. After all the breedings to Bear, she knew exactly how to teach my young stud!
