Hi all, I am new to this forum. I am the owner of a 4 year old Labrador Retriever. I have decided to breed her with a reputable breeder in my area who is experienced breeding labrador retrievers (only) since 1983. She was recommended by my veterinarian. She was on day 11 yesterday of her heat cycle, and the breeder did artificial insemination. The stud was very interested in her during the procedure, but my dog was not enjoying his attention. She snapped at him (and she is a very easy going dog), so the breeder said after the first insemination, I should drive over to my vet and get a progesterone test done for further accuracy on whether she is ready. I did, and received the result back today that her number is 10. The vet said that she is ready, so I am going to proceed to have her inseminated tomorrow (day 12) and again on day 14. I am new at this, and was wondering what the number represents and has anyone experienced insemination of fresh semen for their dog and how successful (or not) was it? Should my dog be showing interest in this dog and if she is not "flagging" is she not ready regardless of the number?
Thanks for any help.
