I’ve been following this channel for about a year now.. I look at it as my homework and I just wanted to say I can’t thank you enough for all your information that you have taken your time to share with us free…it means the world thank you so much James!!!!
Update on my dog she had 9 perfect Beautiful puppy's, I AI her on day 15 her progesterone was 15.2 on that day. Thanks James if I didn't listen to you about the Progesterone testing I would have missed it again Love your Videos thanks so much your the best, my Vet does the progesterone testing and I get the numbers in about 15 Min and they came in on a Sunday when she went into labor this was her first litter to
@@ZC94601 No I take my dogs to the Vet to get tested as of now. And for food I start with Dog chow as a base starting point and then I put in real meat things like fish oil and other things and they love it they would eat way more if I'd feed it to them. I feed a cup in the morning and a cup at night.
Lots learned in the few days I've been watching you. I been breeding naturally for the last 15 years and my results have been mixed. learning now on how to improve my puppy counts by AI and C section. never been a fan of it but over the years I've realized i could have saved a few pups if i wasn't so stuck on my old ways. Learning and i wish you much more success . Your teachings are an incredible wealth of knowledge for both new breeders and old. We really appreciate you.
My dog didn't get to progesterone level of 15 until day 15 after first drop of blood, I tested on day 6 after I saw the first drop and the reading was .2 then on day 11 it was .9 then on day 15 it was 15.2 then I AI her I pray she took , we love your Videos wonderful job I already saved your web site we are getting your progesterone tester soon and other things thanks for all your videos
🎉you are awesome 🎉 I wish I knew of vets that care enough to sit down with you and really put some time into sharing information with and then also to give information in a way that even people starting out can understand!!
Hi James. I am a big fan of your educational vids. My female American bully is pregnant for the second time after 2 years gap from the first litter! She didn’t have a peaceful litter in her last as three of her last pups out of 9 got stuck and she developed eclampsia after 2 months from delivery. She is 30 days pregnant now. Can you kindly advice me how to administer calcium to her? I gave her calcium during first 10 days and cut it off upto now! Please advise me. It will be a great help from you.
Whats the chances of getting the a.i done right when we just wait for the dog to be willing to accept it? Just need to know because that's hiw I do it and missed last time hoping this time she took
Can you do a follow up video, please? So many of us have your machine and I believe the numbers are different from the idexx machine. If it’s 5 ng/ml on idexx, isn’t a 7 on finecare? That’s where I don’t want to get tripped up. Also, if her number was at a 7 and then dropped in half and she has clear discharge, is she having a split heat? Since she’s had a litter before, could something be up where she’s not producing enough progesterone? Thanks James! We’re hopefully a month out from using Buble.
I’m wondering the same thing. I had this same problem with a first time breeding of my 18 month old Frenchy. My regular vet passed away unexpectedly of COVID, & my backup vet isn’t very experienced in breeding Frenchies. She had me come back 2 days after the progesterone drop, but said it then read 28 and would likely be unsuccessful. We went ahead and immediately did a surgical AI but didn’t result in pregnancy.
I have the Wondfo progesterone machine I have been using for a couple years. I have two female giant schnauzers that were due to be in heat. Neither are bleeding or swollen. I checked their progesterone levels on 7/29 one was 3.83ng/ml, 8/2 she was 3.64, 8/5 she was 3.72, 8/8 she was 4.22, 8/11 she was 4.97, 8/14 she is 4.28. It is the same with my other female. They are both just over 2.5 years old. It has been at least 17 days. What is going on? Did we miss it? I have never seen this before
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, i just started watching you about a month ago and I’ve learned so much like you have no idea, I lost my EB first litter I didn’t know what I was doing and now I have 5 puppies, Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Hi! I did a PG test and the result's were were 65NM on day 7 got told she was more then ready and did 3 straw's in 1 go on day 8 from a proffesional vet any advice did she take what are the chance's fam
All dogs hormone levels are always different. We had three females that one would spike/surge LH super fast on day 6-7 of bleeding. And another female that wouldn’t surge or be ready til day 18-21 days. And we typically would do AI surgically.
Hi James hope your ok mate I got a question do you breed when progesterone is at a 15 ? And 2nd mating the day after in England where your 15 is 47 they say breed close to 60 would you agree ?
Just bred my girl Snookie with Ganache...literally progesterone 2 x on one day because she ovulated on day 10...thank God I caught it, last time she ovulated on day 13...
I have a dog that doesn’t seem to bleed! She swells and the male is interested, I progesterone tested and she was at 20! She cycles every 4.5 months too.
Hey I tested my female on day 7 after first sight of blood...she came back at .4 and still bleeding. Vet says to test her again on Friday (today is monday) do you agree to test her on friday?
@@erikruiz5004 she winded up getting bred at a 16.2 and had 9 pups...2 didn't make it so she came home with 7 and all are still living at 4 weeks today! Thanks
My girl ended up with pyometra 🥺 we had to do emergency surgery. I'm also starting to think if there is a huge jump in PG levels there is a higher risk for pyo. Definitely have her double check with ultrasound.
hi sir! my female dog test on her 10th day prog result of 1.5ng then tested every 4 days with the same result unti her 32th day. nothing change and the vulva backs to normal. can i breed her the next heat? can she conceive?
Hi James, As usual, great advice! Testing progesterone is a must! I didn’t do it this past April and my bitch did not take… I went by the other times she was bred but it did not work this time… I think she may have ovulated later than she usually does… I would love to hear your take on older bitches, because as they age it is not unusual for them to ovulate later in their cycle. I had one who actually was bred on her 17th day of heat and ended up with 6 beautiful puppies. We had tried to breed her over several years and nothing, we used AI, transcervical AI’s and nothing until a young male got a hold of her on her 17th day and voilà pregnant! Miracle litter. Just recently I had one of my young bitches get a swollen vulva but no blood, none! 9 - 10 days later she is acting receptive to breeding and my males are going crazy… This is a new experience to me after 30 years raising beautiful dogs. I’m gonna have to do progesterone. Have you ever experienced a bitch in heat with no blood? That is a first for me… challenging…
Testing is always the key to decent litters I like to breed twice two days apart to Older and younger dogs are harder to breed. Late cycles Silent heat. and no blood But pg test will start rising
I did a pg test on a female i have on day 7 she was at a 3.36 then i did again on day 9 she was at a 4.6 then again today day 12 shes at a 7.29 and will be doing ai in two days
That doesn’t make any sense, if she was at a 7.49 on day 6 it means she ovulated. Ovulation occurs at a level of 5, dogs don’t ovulate then go back on progesterone levels, when a dog ovulates the numbers just keep going up. The problem is that progesterone machine that you use and sell which is EXTREMELY unreliable. Not accurate at all.

Hey let us know how many she has thanks my dog did the same thing but didn’t try to breed her
My friend did an ai when his girl was at a 17 and she took. 6 pups. Wish you luck 🤞🏽
@@kingt5905 I will she was having a split heat if I didn't do progesterone testing I would have missed it by 4 days
Let me know if she took
@@kingt5905 Great news she had 9 beautiful puppys
Had to come back to this video, I followed your advice. My girls had 8 healthy pups, everyone surprised because my girl is so little . Thanks again
Excellent

I ❤your videos. You are so great at teaching others .You are very thorough and I always feel well informed after each video. Great job
Hey James, Does time of day matter on the progesterone tests and do you want to test the same time every day female is tested?

Can you do another video on using the centrifuge and your projesterone machine. The only videos I can find are old
My girl was at a 17 on day 12 we did a tci on her 4 pups
Good job
Hi! I did a PG test and the result's were were 65NM on day 7 got told she was more then ready and did 3 straw's in 1 go on day 8 from a proffesional vet any advice did she take what are the chance's fam
And these numbers are based off the Wondfo Finecare machine correct?
What's my best chance of getting a large litter?
What’s the highest number to do a surgical like example 37.58
Depends on machine but your in the ball park with idexx or finecare
What if the 1st AI was done at 12 level in day 8. Then second AI 2 days after. Ultra sound shoes a singleton pup. Was it too soon?
How can I order your Shipping Canisters?
So my best chance of getting my female Pregnant is AI her or TCI her at 15 and beyond? Can I still get 2 AI's done at those numbers?
I tested my dog on day 10, her progesterone was a 20. I AI her that day, she had 5 pups, it was her first pregnancy.
Did u ai only once

What happened?
Thank you for this information
I did surgical while she was at 20.8 on idexx. Am I too early?
Maybe a day but probably will be ok
Soo what would a 6.5 be the next day
My dog was at 22.5 Saturday, we had a TCI scheduled today but couldn't get semen on time. Is she too far out of range to breed?
Probabky thats about 3 days late

@@LoveMyPups thanks James, will have to do the progesterone no doubt!😊
Again, the European unit is nmol/L, ii.e., nanomoles per liter, *not* ng/mol
I just ran into my girl was at a 2.5 at day 6 on Wednesday then tested Friday and she was at a 16!😳
Awesome 😊

Hey bro so i just ai my dog at 12.64 on wondfo finecare.. previous breeder told me he hits around 22-28 for ainto get big litters
@@ernestopatron8052 she took??
what?@@ernestopatron8052

I dont see your point..at no tym did he say the number drops
This
So u want to inseminate the girl when she is at lv 15 ?
15 is a sweet spot
Why do you need to Inseminate twice ?????
I believe the likelihood increases the size of the litter. Not all pups are conceived on the first shot, so to speak.
Too young, need b vitamins and plenty sun
