 A Gopher's Worst Nightmare
Posts: 5094
 
Location: Southern Oregon | We have an older golden male. We love him to death. As he is getting older we have spent the last four years looking for a nice female that we thought would be a good cross with him. We finally found her. She is a gorgeous blonde Golden female. She is was in full heat this weekend. He showed tons of interest at first, but then seemed rather annoyed by her advances. He mounted her once and did not get the job finished at all and then gave up. The last few check ups he has had an enlarged prostate, but the vet said it was not interfering anything. Our male is 11, yes I know that is OLD for a golden, although you would never know by looking at him. He is very youthful and in good health. He has been well loved. I brought the female home with me for the night. They were VERY playful and would get super aroused and then he would just walk off and lay down? He has had pups a few years back with a good friends hunting dog that was a chocolate/Chesapeake cross which resulted in 8 healthy pups. Several years back though we ran into this same problem with another golden female. She was in full heat and he wanted NOTHING to do with her either. Is it possible he has something against golden retrievers? LOL.... I am just VERY saddened by all of this. :( |

Location: oklahoma | Maybe she should cook a nice meal and light some candles, dab a little perfume behind her ears. Drs. aren't always right and I would assume that he's older now and just wants companionship, no nookie. Since it's happened more than once, I'd think age has caught up with him and his prostate is bothering him more than the vet can tell. |

 Can You Hear Me Now?
Location: When you hit the middle of nowhere .. Keep driving | I've heard of certain stallions that wouldn't cover a certain coloured mare, maybe it's the same with dogs. I believe with the stallions that they made a blanket and hid the colour and it fooled them.  |

| When I went and bought my little Schnauzer male I was told he was sterile. They were trying to use him as a stud but NONE of the schnauzer females ever got pregnant, he was 4 when I got him. I had already had my little female poodle, but thought no need to get either fixed as he is sterile...
NOT
She did show him how to do IT and got bred 4 different times... SO I'm saying YEAH some dogs just don't like certain dogs... I will state that Pixers the poodle is very aggressive sexually!! She has always raised her leg to pee Caleb (schnauzer mail) always squatted. |

Location: Washington. (The DRY side.) | As you said, he is OLD. NO matter how good of shape he may be in, or how he acts, that does NOT change the fact that he is old. LOL It could very well be that he is in pain somewhere. And that could be why he won't try to breed her again. |
