about breeding beagles

Since I am new to breeding, I've been reading a lot. Here's a link that really helped me; it's only about breeding beagles. It's from the uk so it explains how to breed hunting beagles, but stil it's very helpful.

Here's my summary:
after your bitch starts her second heat (or the one you desire), start using the calledar.

1. mark the callendar for the 7th day after the first day she is in heat. this is when you should get her with the disered sire.
2. during the next 5 days she sould be with the sire 3 times, for a 100% fertilization
3. you have to remember that the day of mating is not the same as the conception day, it's usualll 2 days later.
4. 20 -25 days after mating take the bitch to the vet to check if she is pregnant with a simple palpation ( the vet trys to feel the puppies, first to see if the bitch (now a dame) is pregnant and how many puppies she is carrying.
5. 60 - 65 days after mating you can expect puppies. Be ready to sleep a lot less, they tend to arrive at nigth.!
