Sex

When a female Greyhound goes through her oestrous cycle, she is sometimes called "in heat." Anestrus, diestrus, estrus, and proestrus are the phases that make up the oestrous cycle. During the first stage, known as proestrus, the vulva swells and a bloody discharge is present. The next stage is estrus, when the female is most fertile and ready to mate. When a female Greyhound is in estrus, she may behave and smell more sexually aroused, making her more attractive to male canines. During diestrus, a woman does not actively reproduce, and during anestrus, she is not fertile but is physically and mentally dormant.

Greyhound mating season begins when females enter the estrus phase of their life cycle. Attracting male canines is a process that begins when females emit pheromones. When male Greyhounds, like other dogs, sense these chemicals, they are usually rather anxious to mate. Note that dogs should only be mated if they are in good health and can be successfully bred. When you breed dogs responsibly, you take into account their physical and mental well-being as well as their family history.

For breeding to be effective, the time of the mating is important. It is best to mate the dogs while the female is in estrus, when she is most open to mating.

It is vital to watch the female's behavior and bodily signals to identify the optimal time for mating, since the precise timing might differ for each dog.

Taking care of the male and female Greyhounds is an important part of responsible breeding. Thorough health tests, including genetic screening, should be conducted on both dogs before breeding. The ultimate goal of any breeding program should be to strengthen and improve the breed as a whole.

It is imperative that you consult with seasoned breeders, vets, and experts in canine reproductive if you want to breed Greyhounds. They are in a prime position to provide counsel on matters of timing, health, and post-mating care.
