How can I assist a Teddy with mating?
If a Teddy needs to be bred, the owner can assist in the following ways. First, before mating, check the female dog's heat cycle - when in heat she will have swelling and redness of the vulva and increased discharge; when the discharge becomes thick and shows streaks of blood, it is generally days 11-13 of the heat period, which is the optimal breeding time for the female. Second, before the formal mating, let the male and female get familiar with each other for a while to help build trust and mutual understanding. Finally, if the female refuses to mate, you can consider using a leash or collar to control them.
