I know this may get off subject but here goes the question. Have any of you seen a male that shows no interest in breeding. He has been introduced to several in season females but shows no interest. What gives???

On a serious note to the original poster. I once had a male chessie that wouldn't look twice at a female, but would mount a male in a second. I told my hunting buddies not to pet the dog if they knew what was good for them. 2 guys listened and didn't pet the dog, third guy petted him and you can figure out what happened next. Pretty funny day in the duck blind to say the least. Maybe your guy has tendencies. Just sayin.

I heard he got them from your quarterback!!!!!!!!!! I'm sorry I couldn't resist!!
I think sometimes when we wait too long and let a male get past the correct age for his first learning experience so to speak it is a lost cause for a natural breeding. AI may be the way to go in this case. On the other hand some males don't need to learn.....it's just a normal thing for them even if they are older with the first experience.

Going through it right now. My male is very experienced. I have a bitch here now that he has had 2 ties with. She is quite a hussy at this point, even flagging and backing up to my 4 month old female. At this point my male could care less. All I can says at this point she isn't giving off the right smell. I feel confident she is bred having 2 ties. It is funny how nature works. I had another bitch last year that was all primed up, couldn't get him interested, progesterone test said time was right so I took them to the vet for and AI. 4 days later you couldn't keep him off of her. 62 day after the AI she had 8 puppies.

Gator Points Dirt Road Sport, may he rest in peace, was one fantastic stud. If a female came in to be bred, he would sniff her and if she was not ready, he would turn and walk away! When she was ready, he took care of business. We once had a female come in that had shown color for eight days and we introduced them twice a day until the 24th day, no interest. We called the owner and told her to peck her up. She said she wouldn't be able to for four more days, but would then.
When she came to get her we tried one more time and they tied. She took her on home and 64 days later she delivered 9 pups!
We also had a young lady (collage student) help with the kennel and she became engaged to a young man. He wanted to see what she did with the dogs and when he walkes up to Sports run, he went to the back of the run and jumped up on his resting pad and let out a low growl. She looked at me in supprise, as Sport was generally a very friendly dog. When he left (the young man) she asked me what that was all about? I told her that dogs were very good at judging character and that before she married this youn fellow, she might be very careful. She ended up breaking the engagement a little later.
She transferred schools and about two years later (she no longer worked for me, too long a comute) she called and asked if she could come by and bring a friend. I told her sure and she showed up with a nice looking young man. They visited the kennel and ended up at Sports run. Sport came up to the gate, wagging his tail and licked the fellows hand. She looked at me with a BIG grin, and later told me she was thinking about getting married and just wanted to get him "Lab Tested". They did and so far it has turned out well. Can't beat those dogs for judging people. Bill

I've seen this once with the male we had when I was a teenager. The male would not even attempt anything with the female that was brought to his kennel. She was with him during what should have been her entire standing phase, but he wouldn't make any attempts. We finally attributed his lack of performance to constantly being "shot down" by our spayed female while he was growing up.

I asked a few more questions to him about the female that he was trying to breed and found out that she has never been breed before (so we are dealing with two virgins) and he still was not showing any interest. He contacted the owner of the female to see what they wanted to do, they introduced her to his other stud and imediatley got a tie. Oh well. He is trying to get this male going because. I delivered a female to him that we both want a pup from him and her. She should be coming back in season around July, she is staying at the preserve now and I suggested he bring the female to his house a couple months early so they can get to know one another for a while prior to coming in to season. What are your thoughts? He has always taken some time to get used to other dogs around. I have seen him in the past take months to aknowledge another dog has been introduced to the family, this the one flaw he has. The only reason I had not bred him when I had him was I was looking for the right female, maybe I should have let others who had females that wanted him as stud breed just so he had some experience. We are planning AI if needed.
