I am waiting to breed my Cane Corso and this morning had a progesterone test done. I was told the number was 30.6. Does that mean she's ready to breed?

Progesterone results can be expressed in ng/ml or nmol/L, so it's important to know how Ellie's number was expressed. I can say that typically ovulation occurs at a progesterone level of 5mg/ml, but there is no ideal level of progesterone. Peak fertility can occur at 10, 30, or even higher levels depending on the dog. If Ellie is willing, I would try to breed her today. I hope this helps!
