Dog mating is an impressive process however people are somehow discomfited to see dogs mating because of the tendency of these animals to copulate anywhere. The mating process is another wondrous work of nature that ensures the recreation of the dog species. Dogs are bred for various reasons. Some would breed the pet for financial reasons. Dogs are well love pets and an owner may want to have cuddly and adorable puppies from the dog.
Dogs are mated to produce a dog with the good looks and ideal disposition. Whatever reasons these dog owners have for breeding the dog, one thing is common. Professional breeder or pet owner, both would want to produce a healthy litter.
The mating of dogs would be considered as an ordinary occurrence by dog experts. An owner watching the pet being mated for the first time may be alarmed at the pet’s behavior. The owner will be concerned if the bitch would whine as if in pain. A dog owner not conversant to the dog mating process would be alarmed at the pet’s obvious sign of distress thus the owner may try to separate the dogs in an effort to help. Even though mating dogs appear to be highly distressed, they should never be separated. Male and female dogs are naturally stuck together while mating and any effort done to separate them will cause unnecessary injury.
Not like female dogs that will allow to be mated only during the estrus stage, male dogs are always ready to mate. The flagging or the lifting of the tail to one side is only shown to a male dog when the bitch is ready to be mated. The bitch will allow the favored dog to mount her from behind in seconds the vulva will be penetrated. After penetration, one of the dogs will twist around so that they will be tied in their rear ends while facing opposite directions.
It will be noticed that human copulation is different from canine copulation given the fact that the male member can penetrate the vulva even if it is not erect. The baculum is a small bone in the dog’s male member that has the purpose of keeping the male member rigid. After penetration is achieved, the dogs will be stuck together in the position that is commonly called the canine mating tie. The tissues at the base of the male member get swollen with blood trapping the male member inside the vulva. The dogs will remain stuck together for about 20 or 30 minutes until all the sperms have entered the vulva. This process is nature’s way of making sure that the bitch gets impregnated.
