Another way to determine pregnancy is to draw blood 22-27 days post breeding to measure the relaxin level in the bloodstream. The length of pregnancy in dogs is approximately 63 days. Milk production in the pregnant dog starts 1-7 days before parturition. Milk production can also be present in pseudopregnant dogs. During pregnancy a mucoid to pink tinged vulvar discharge can be present in normal dogs. Monitor for and report any bloody or yellow-green discharge as these can indicate serious disease.
Breeding Dogs: The Tie. Male dogs can start to have sperm at seven months old, but ten months is more common. Young dogs do not have quality sperm. Almost all dogs will have sperm by one year. Stud dogs are at their prime between 18 months and 4 years old (or 5), after that, the quality of the sperm starts to lessen, and the ability to penetrate eggs, lessens. By 10 years old, most stud dogs do not produce sperm that will impregnate a bitch. A tie is a natural phenomenon of dog breeding in which the bulbus glandis of the male's penis swells inside the bitch's vagina.
