Maybe Heat??

I took my four year old Snubian to get bred on December 1st. And she was in sure-fire heat that day. Her tail was flappin' like crazy and when she saw the buck she just stood still and let him do his work.

Today, she wasn't flapping her tail like crazy but she was rubbing against the buck and he was attempting to mount her. It wasn't nearly as prominent as it was on December first but, I am hoping she is bred.

She did not come into heat at the end of Dec/beginning of Jan so, I thought she was bred for sure.

Can anyone give me some pointers here? I admit, I am getting frustrated

Don't worry yet. Wait a week, draw blood and send it in for testing.

Sometimes they show a bit of heat even after being bred.

Here's where to send the blood:
