How many days will a female dog let a male mount her?
From what I have read online, successful dog breeders let the male mount the female across a 3-day period. This will typically be on days 9, 11, and 13 of the cycle. Breeders will often separate the male and female once the mounting has occurred, to ensure a gap between the matings.
