Expert Answer

The best time to mate a female Golden Retriever is days 9-13 of heat, when success is highest. Early in heat she strongly rejects the male, but in mid-to-late heat she accepts mounting, giving a higher chance. During mating keep the environment quiet to avoid disturbance or fright that could harm the reproductive organs. Also, to improve success, mate them again 2 days later.
