Practical Dog Breeding

Airedale Terriers

This section explains the bitch’s breeding cycle, the male dog’s peculiar anatomy, how to assist or understand the mating process when it is required.

Most animals (except humans and camels) come into 'season' or oestrus. This is a period where the bleeding of a bitch means she is becoming ready to accept the male dog.
