@jengosmonkey If he can walk past her in a crate, poor boy is being teased ! Separation means that - being apart. Separate rooms if not separate houses, and walking them together ?????
I had a very experienced boy who would never mount a bitch until he had seen her defecate. So Marvin and I, or one of us with the owner of the bitch, would take them both down the lane alongside the house until she did.
THEN we would come back to the garden / house. But in single file, with Curly following his lady-love. It was important to keep a distance.
On occasions we never made it and Marvin had to sit in the hedge alongside the road, with his legs out into the carriageway, superintending the mating (holding them straight) while I directed local traffic - farm carts and tractors mostly - around him. One time an owner and I made it to the back door, but the mating took place on the doormat.
It wasn't easy to convince owners of visiting bitches of this fetish. . .
But you be careful - and don't tease the boy unnecessarily :smiling_face_with_heart-eyes: :smiling_face_with_horns: -

Well... I'm back. Been offline for awhile. Long personal story that I won't bore you with. Anyway... Sparkle is not pregnant... DANG IT! Logan tried his damnedest to get to her, but unfortunately we were successful. No micro dogs for us. I gotta say though, that was a ROYAL pain in the ass. We shall see if Princes Sparkle shall grace us with another opportunity this Fall. I sure hope she does.

@jengosmonkey welcome. I hoped you had not deserted us entirely.

Wait... I'm confused. I thought you wanted to avoid pups.... now it sounds like you wanted them. ?

So am I, but didn't like to be the first to mention it. I thought Stella put that 'no puppies' proviso on Sparkle ! Of course Logan persisted, and will again, maybe in September, maybe not.

Sooo, no. Sparkle was not supposed to be bred to Logan. She get's to have a litter, but with another sire. My comment was more.... dang it, we had everything we needed! We were so close! Tongue and cheek so to speak. I'd never intentionally do that to Stella though. I'm glad we're back to normal. That was quite an experience. Definitely kept us on our toes and our heals. Wow.

@jengosmonkey - Yes agreed .... Stella had a different sire in mind for this breeding, not Logan... and like I said it is "hit or miss" with a spring season... more often than not, miss...

My Rosa wrote the "How To Be a Basenji DIVA" manuscript - as many rules there were, it was so worthy of a 'script' at the end! She, and all her offspring, had spring and fall heats, but I only bred her once in the spring. That produced one puppy, my Captain. She always ruled over her pups, except when Captain came along - she did what HE said when he was about 2 weeks old!
