By observing these changes, we can initially judge whether the breeding is successful. The following are the methods and precautions for judging the successful breeding of a bitch.
1. Physiological manifestations of successful breeding of bitches
After successful breeding, the physiological state of the bitch will gradually change. The following are common physiological manifestations:
| Performance | time | illustrate |
|---|---|---|
| Nipple become bigger and darker | 2-3 weeks after breeding | Skin around the nipples may become pinker or darker |
| Gradually bulging abdomen | 4-5 weeks after breeding | The abdomen is enlarged significantly, and the fetus can be felt when touched |
| Increased appetite | 3-4 weeks after breeding | Bitches may become greedy and eat significantly |
| Weight gain | 5-6 weeks after breeding | Weight increases by 15%-25% compared to before breeding |
2. The behavioral manifestations of successful breeding of bitches
In addition to physiological changes, the behavior of the bitch will also change. The following are some common behavioral manifestations:
| Performance | time | illustrate |
|---|---|---|
| Reduced activity | 3-4 weeks after breeding | The bitch may become quieter and likes to rest |

| Maternal behavior enhancement | 7-8 weeks after breeding | Show protection against other puppies or toys |
3. Scientific testing methods
In addition to observing physiological and behavioral changes, you can also judge whether the breeding is successful through the following scientific methods:
| method | time | Accuracy |
|---|---|---|
| Ultrasonic examination | 25-30 days after breeding | More than 90% |
| Blood test (progesterone level) | 3-4 weeks after breeding | 85%-90% |
| X-ray examination | More than 45 days after breeding | More than 95% |
| Palpation examination | 28-35 days after breeding | 70%-80% |

4.Observe abnormal situations, such as vaginal bleeding, sudden drop in appetite, etc., you need to seek medical treatment in time.
5. Summary
To judge the success of the bitch breeding requires a combination of physiological changes, behavioral performance and scientific testing methods. Through careful observation and regular inspection, it is possible to more accurately determine whether the breeding is successful.
