Brenda,
I have been progesterone testing my bitches for a few years with constant
success and it sounds as though your vet has things a little mixed up!
Levels have to reach 6.4 or higher before considering to breed. Once they
are at or higher than 6.4 breed 3 to 4 days later (if you have free access
to the stud, I would breed twice), on days 2 & 4 or days 3 & 5. I have had
extremely good success with this testing and all other secondary signs
(cornification, bitches receptiveness, etc) has been right on the money!
Hope this helps? Good luck

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Progesterone Levels
Dear Listers,
My vet has told me that bitches ovulate when their progesterone levels are
around 5. BUT, that progesterone levels can shoot up to 20 within a 12-24
hour period but it STILL takes eggs 48 hours to mature. I've always thought
that eggs and progesterone levels went hand in hand. Any thoughts?
What brought this about was one of our bitches was about 90% cornified on
day 9, vet said wait on progesterone, day 10 we did a progesterone anyway
and it was 20! Of course we bred right away but I just figured it was too
late. He maintains she probably ovulated around day 8 and we needed to
continue breeding as the eggs still need 48 hours irregardless of what the
progesterone says. Hummmm...this doesn't sound right to me~
Thanks,
Brenda Banister Crago
