The American Beagler Forum

I have 2 female Beagles that are kept together in a kennel that are pretty good hunters. A friend of mine has a male that he has wanted to breed with my females when they came into season. My question is that they both came into season together and he is bringing his male over in the morning. Is there any reason I can't just put him in the cage with both of them or should the females be separated for any reason?

If they are both ready to breed, and you only put one male in there, you might have a cat fight.

Just kidding.

I do think it would be better to sepperate them though.

Lucky Dog !!!!!!! I would seperate them. Don't take long to get the business done.

I would seperate then also, so I could give him a break for alittle while.

Normally you would take the bitches to the dog(he would be comfortable in his home surroundings/ get to business quicker, and the bitches being out of their home environment, would more submissive to him).
I would put him and one bitch together in a neutral pen/ not the bitches kennel, that way, the bitch will be more submissive to him.
Most times, there's no problems and you can hardly get out of the way quick enough...lol
Best of luck...Patch
