The Breeding Department will determine an appropriate mate for the female based on temperament and family history. Females are generally bred once a year. Usually a different mate is chosen each time. “With a blood test, ovulation timing can be predicted to ensure a successful breeding. The actual breeding takes place during the female’s initial rise in progesterone.” (From www.thecapsulereport.com)

She may go off her food a few days, urinate more frequently when out on her walks and may be down and miserable when she is about to come into season.” (from www.petplanet.co.uk)
