There is a book which is brilliant for bitch owners taking you through the process                        J M Evans AND Kay White called

"THE BOOK OF THE BITCH"

                                        Progesterone Testing                                                I recommend that bitches coming to my dogs are progesterone tested prior to mating
​Bitches can ovulate anytime from Day 9 to Day 28 so it is beneficial to be sure rather than guess "around day 12"  The vets will offer you a swab test or a smear test but I have ​ found that the blood tests are much more correct 
To carry out a blood test these are the options I would recommend:
1.  If your vets are now doing blood testing in house that is an option but it can be more expensive and take longer for the results
​​2. I recommend the following laboratory: IDEXX  01937 544000 ​
First thing to do is to send off for the kit from IDEXX  . this is full proof method but it takes time as you need to get the bloods from your vets and then post off to Index a which you will get back the following day 
3.  Contact a specialist fertility clinic and they will do the test and give you the results within an hour
 
​             I have 2 clinics local to me which will give you the results quickly
