Progesterone level

Hello all,
When the progesterone level reads 11.0, it's too late for breeding?

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Re: Progesterone level

No!!! Go ahead now and good luck.

Re: Progesterone level

Do you know when your progesterone was close to 2.1? If so, count 4 & 6 days after that for your ideal breedings. I think bitches all have different rates of rising progesterone after they hit their approximate Lh peak....some go up way faster than others...it is hard to say where your girl is at 11.0

Re: Progesterone level

1st breeding should be done with a Progesterone Level of 12-18
2nd breeding should be done with a level of 18-26.

Good Luck

Was that from blood drawn yesterday ? She should be higher today and still higher tomorrow if you are shipping. But if you have everything planned I would go for it. Might have fewer pups.
