I hope you can help me. I have a male Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who I would like to use on my bitches but even though he has sired two litters (the last one 18 months ago) now he does not show any interest when the bitches come into season. Even though I put him 24/7 with a bitch who is in season and she does all she can to get him interested nearly begging him to take her he does not try to mate her. He is 4 years old and I know that he is slightly over weight for a Cavalier but he was the same weight when he mated before and one time he wanted the bitch so much he broke the cage door off its hinges to mate her but now no interest. My question is there a doggie equivalent of Viagra or can you suggest any tablets both convention or Homeopathic that will make him randy and want to mate. If you could give me a reply by email I would appreciate it as I live in France and although I would love to be able to get your magazine (as I find your magazine is the only one who speaks its mind and doesn't disappear up the KC rear end like other so called Dog magazines) I find it impossible and if you just publish your reply I would miss it.

All I can say is be grateful that after being used for mating he isn't trying to escape to get at every passing bitch on heat!
ReplyDeletePerhaps you'll have to enjoy him just as a pet.
Have you had him checked out by a vet? How old is he? Is he too old to be siring more litters?
ReplyDeleteI would want him thoroughly checked out by a vet before trying to mate him again.
