Why do dogs get stuck when breeding?

Nature is really amazing! Nature has made a way to ensure that impregnation occurs in canine reproduction. If he has never seen dogs mating, he would probably be worried that his beloved pet would come to harm because some of them would whimper and appear injured as they stood end to end. Helping the dog by separating them could do more harm than good.

When the canine copulates, the male mounts the female from behind. A cooperative and receptive female would wag her tail to the side of her and allow the male to get a good grip on her. This is called marking. The act of reproduction in canines is very different from that of humans. A dog’s penis is not erect when it enters the bitch’s vagina. Penetration is achieved because a small bone inside the penis called the baculum keeps the penis rigid.

Once penetration is achieved, the bulbus glandis, an erectile tissue located at the base of the penis, swells with blood and traps the penis inside the bitch’s vagina. This is called the mating bond. The male dog usually swung his legs over the female’s back; he turns around so that the rear ends of the dogs are connected. Dogs would typically stay in this position for 5 to 30 minutes or even longer. Dogs will not be able to separate until ejaculation is over and the bulbus glandis is disengaged.

At the beginning of the mating bond, the male dog releases sperm and prostatic fluid. Sticking together while mating is normal for dogs. This ensures that the semen will enter the vagina and the dog will become pregnant. The mating loop prevents semen from escaping. A female dog in heat will attract male dogs. This is due to the distinctive odor that seems to announce the dog’s availability. It would not be unusual to see a female dog in heat surrounded by several males. The mating bond ensures that the breeding process is not interrupted. It will prevent the bitch from mating with other dogs.

The mating bond can be distressing to animals, especially if one or both are mating for the first time. Never try to separate dogs even if they appear to be injured or distressed. Closely supervise the dogs to prevent any accidents from occurring. A larger female that gets scared and panics can hurt the male and vice versa. You can drop to the ground to calm and calm the dogs until they part.
