A number of non-infectious causes can result in diarrhea. These include lactose intolerance, irritable bowel syndrome, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, hyperthyroidism, and a number of medications. In most cases, stool cultures to confirm the exact cause are not required.
Most dogs are first bred between the 10th and 14th day after the onset of proestrus. As long as the bitch will accept the male, mating every other day for a total of two or three matings is generally considered sufficient. However, signs of proestrus are not obvious in some bitches.
Its best not to breed a dog until they are about a year and a half old at the earliest, and that is for small breeds of dogs. Larger breeds of dogs take longer to mature and you would want to wait until they are 2 years old or older.
