How long does mating take with pitbulls?

Mating for pitbulls usually takes a few minutes, with the actual physical connection lasting only a short period of time. However, the pre-mating rituals (often referred to as the "courtship ritual") can vary in duration. These pre-mating activities, characterized by sniffing, licking, circling, and mounting/dismounting, are essential for synchronization and arousal, and the entire pre and actual mating event can potentially last several hours when a female pitbulls is receptive; although the actual reproductive event is much shorter lasting.
