During breeding, the male mounts the female from the rear and clasps her midsection with his front legs. Rapid pelvic thrusts follow, until penetration and ejaculation take place. After the pelvic thrusts cease, the male and female will not separate for 10 to 30 minutes. Known as a tie, this results from a swollen section of the penis called the bulbus glandis. During the tie, the male may move around until he and the female are positioned rear to rear. Do not try to separate the dogs during the tie, because it can injure either or both animals. Sooner or later, they will part naturally. |
