I have just run a series of progesterone test for the first time ever. I
did it because my bitch is a maiden, the stud dog I am going to is very
aggressive ( you bring them and he breeds them) and I had Xmas right in
the middle
of everything. What have I found out? That the tests verified what my own
dogs noses and my own experience told me- she is ready now and I am going
today. Unless there are unusual circumstances I doubt I will spend the
money
again. I don't think it is necessary to routinely do this.
I learned my lesson. JR's first breeding and his "date" had never had
puppies. The bitch owner and myself wanted to do all we could to make this
happen, so I had her early and was grooming her before taking her to the
reproductive guru for blood work/smears/timing tests so that he'd have an
early
borderline reading. She was on the table in the garage, he was loose on the
floor
flirting. When I lifted her off the table, he wanted to breed her. Now, I
was warned this gal could be "difficult" but instead she was impatient with is
flirting and I swear if she'd had hands she would have reached back and
helped <G>. So, I'm thinking, let him play, he's green, new at this and when
he
gets close she'll eventually say "no" because it's WAY early. Nope, tied, EASY
and on day THREE! So, I get to the appointment late, apologize, say what
happened and end up with "but it's way early and he's green and doesn't know
any better". The next AM the office called w/ the results and the fellow
laughingly told me the dogs got it right.
Now, that's fine and dandy IF you have a dog who will tell you at home, but
if you don't, when you're driving/shipping and/or implanting, a little
insurance couldn't hurt I suppose....
