There is no evidence that a female dog actually experiences an orgasm, so that is not a consideration where artificial inseminating a dog. The most important factor is that she is in heat at the time of insemination.

    I would say to take what you find on the internet with a grain of salt. Keep in mind that breeders are typically not veterinarians or veterinary experts, and scientific research has not proven that female dogs actually achieve orgasm. The most important factors in artificially inseminating your dog are making sure she is in heat, and she is in the correct time during her heat cycle, around day nine to 14 of the cycle.
