Let's assume we have 13 bitches, each no less than a year of age and each no less than 90% prey drive. The male is a good-looking, aggressive, and extremely biddable 85 lb GSD working dog. The male has been paired with 8-10 different bitches in the past, with an average litter size of 8-10 puppies. <br><br>The bitches have been divided into three groups, each with 4-5 bitches. Each group trains with each other, and their heat cycles are as follows (assuming 3 weeks are given for a bitch to be reborn):<br><br>Group 1: Bitches 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 <br>- Bitch 1: 0 / 21<br>- Bitch 2: 1 / 20 <br>- Bitch 3: 2 / 19<br>- Bitch 4: 3 / 18<br>- Bitch 5: 4 / 17<br><br>Group 2: Bitches 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 <br>- Bitch 6: 5 / 19<br>- Bitch 7: 6 / 18<br>- Bitch 8: 7 / 17<br>- Bitch 9: 8 / 16<br>- Bitch 10: 9 / 15<br><br>Group 3: Bitches 11, 12, 13 <br>- Bitch 11: 11 / 14<br>- Bitch 12: 12 / 13<br>- Bitch 13: 13 / 12<br><br>The male is always introduced to the bitch with the highest prey drive. How would you arrange the mating order for the facility if each female has 0-2 puppies and each male has 0-2 puppies?
