6/10/2023 0 Comments Wild dogs matingBut again BREEDERS cannot afford any injury to their dogs during this process. Some pairs are SEASONED and don’t required human assistance at all. If that is missed, then the breeder have to wait another 6 month to 12 months since some dog gets into the season once in 6 months, 8 months or once a year! Out of those days ONLY 3 to 5 days are important. People who were present on my dog pregnancy course will know this so this is for those who couldn’t join us - The female usually has her periods for 15 days to 3 weeks, depending on individual dog. They always choose early mornings or late evenings for mating to avoid over exhaustion in the dogs. Mating days are always decided considering female dogs' progesterone levels, tail flicking behaviour etc. No breeder wants to have his or her dog injured and cannot afford any injury to their dogs, irrespective of their gender. Now let’s consider this whole act at a BREEDER'S place. The whole act is very exhausting for them, body need to rest too. 9:30- 10 onwards until 5-5:30 these dogs are resting. These acts are happening at early morning and and evening when the temperature is low. This is just a minute long video but I have been observing these dogs for the past couple of days. But not even once she moved away from him. For some reason Snow is not able to perform. Nowhere in the video it looks that female Blacky is being forced or raped. Later how beautifully other two dogs accepted their position in this scenario and withdraw themselves and sat down at a distance. How Snow is interfering and warning other two male dogs - the body blocking and the snarling. See her body language, tail flicking, the way she isnviting Snow throughout the video. Blacky being a female dog she is constantly humping on the male dog which indicates she is willing to get mated. Snow has been trying to get a success since yesterday but somehow he is yet not able to perform 100%. Without too much of vocalisation and fight they are handling the scene very carefully. Snow is protecting her and keeping both other males away. She has chosen a male and male has chosen her as well. To understand more about this watch the entire video carefully again and again to understand the behaviour and communications between any dog or every dog involved in this video.īlacky is on her Peak phase of periods and desperate to get mated. We are often thought to think that breeding is an act of rape and this is the answer. Blacky (F), Snow (M), Patchy (small brown M), and Senior (M). Let’s give a name to each dog by their looks and gender. No matter how much the male attempts, she won’t allow anyone until she is fully ready. Either he must have got warned by the brown dog or doesn’t want to make the female dog angry! Conflict avoidance behaviour! Brown male again makes an attempt to mount on her and yet one more time he gets badly snapped by the female, and this time the pinch is harder and she didn’t let him go for a second. He is not even making an attempt to mount on her. Check the Black colored male showing calming signals which is lip licking, tail wagging, friendly submissive body language. The intention is to keep the male away since her body is yet to get ready, the hormones are yet to spike in her body. This is possibly her first phase of chums and intercourse will be useless. She is OK when the Male dog exhibits pre-reproductive behaviour and tries to make her ready for intercourse by licking her, but as soon as he mounts on her she goes for him viciously signalling that she isn’t ready yet. This whole scene involves 2 different packs.īlack Female has entered in season but yet not ready for mating. These dogs are semi-feral as there is also heavy greenery near my house and these dogs have been scavenging as well as hunting in the woods nearby. Am putting it here so that we all see and learn how nature guides these behaviours. Once they are released the females will teach the males the ‘ways of the wild’ and will hopefully start producing pups as the pack on Thanda are doing at the moment.A pack of dogs near my house are going through ritual seasonal mating procedure and I managed to capture it on camera. Tembe Elephant Park has a pack of captive bred male wild dog in their holding enclosures being bonded with a group of wild caught females. If all went well, we could expect to have pups born in about 2 and half months time – mid May – just as the students from Chester University are joining us on an experiential learning experience! The best sighting was actually of them mating in the car park at the Thanda camp just outside of the volunteers’ (Kalley, Stephan, Wade and Becky) rooms! The alpha male was seen mating with the alpha female this last week on a number of occasions. This pack of 7 wild dogs on Thanda has grown from just 3 dogs last year, and now comprises 3 adults (1 male and 2 female) and 4 sub-adults (2 male and 2 female).
