My female pug wasn't in heat. Should I get a refund for breeding?

It is always possible she got pregnant. If you don't want her to have this litter you can go to your vet and ask for a mismating shot and then you can breed her on her next cycle. ( https://www.webvets.com/admin/uploads/mismate-accidental-breeding.pdf )

The most common reason why dogs refuse to mate is that it is the wrong time in the estrous cycle. If mating is attempted too early in the cycle, the bitch may not be receptive. A female raised as a house pet may be a shy breeder because of inadequate social contact with members of her own species. Mate preference, too, can be a determining factor. A bitch may refuse one male dog but may like another. I suggest you give her more time. Make sure you introduce her to the male at the right time in her cycle or, better yet, keep the two together throughout her entire cycle. If she hasn't been well socialized with other dogs then work on that. That may be why she doesn't know how to act around the male. If all else fails you can resort to artificial insemination. You can speak to your vet about how to get that done.

A typical vet check is between $45-$55 for the office visit and physical. Another other tests would be on top. I will put a link below to Vetco's vaccine prices so you can price that out for puppies. I do strongly recommend you get x-rays at least 45 days after Bailey is mated. That will confirm she is pregnant, and how many puppies she is expecting. You never know if there could be problems giving birth, so save money now in case she needs an emergency c section. That can cost thousands. You have plenty of time to save, as dogs should never be bred on their first heat. You should wait until her second, or better yet, third heat. The cost of the stud dog will vary, you need to speak with people with stud dogs to find out a cost. Finally, it's fine to breed her as a mix breed.

If two pets aren't interested in mating, you can try pheromones such as the Adaptil diffuser. However, in most situations you will have to resort to artificial insemination through your specialized veterinarian if you want to get the female pregnant. Ask your vet if this is something they specialize in, or if they have a referral vet for you to seek help from. Best of luck with those two! Take care.

6 years old isn’t too old to breed, but it is getting to the point where it may be more difficult for her. If she has not been able to conceive in the past then I would be concerned that she may not be able to. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.

IF you really want her to be pregnant I would recommend taking her to a reproductive veterinary specialist. It is important to make sure she is ovulating and her uterus is healthy and can carry puppies. Some dogs like people cannot get pregnant. Also, you want to make sure your timing is correct on trying to breed her. As soon as you see signs of heat make sure she is able to be placed with a male.

It is usually around day 12. If she sits that mean she is not ready or interested. Typically they will only stand when ready...there is nothing you can do to make her or help her. If you take her to the vet then can take a vaginal swab and tell you were she is in her cycle and give you a better idea of when she will be ready or if it had already passed
