My repro vet, a breeder of various breeds, has breeders give Thryoid
medication if the test fails below a certain number.  While that number i=
s
still a NORMAL thyroid and would receive an OFA Certification, it is not
high enough, in her opinion, to conceive and maintain a pregnancy.  This =

regardless of the breed of dog.=0D

I can honestly say that when one of my bitches failed to conceive the fir=

time I bred her, even though progesterone testing was done and "ties" wer=

accomplished by a proven stud, she had me have her thyroid checked.  It w=
as
lower than she likes to see so she had my put her on thyroid medication.=20
She has since had pups.=0D
 =0D
BTW - her Thyroid test would have qualified for an OFA number.=0D
 =0D
I recommend that any bitch who fails to conceive get a thyroid test done.=
=20
If that is normal, I would suggest confirming pregnancy by ultrasound and
then running a weekly progesterone test to see if her progesterone level
needs supplementing in order to maintain the pregnancy.=0D
