My boxer is in heat. I noticed she was spotting on the 11th. But I dont know if she had already started before that. She shares the kennel with our male boxer. My questions are...when can he mount her? and will he know when she is ready? I am really concerened because I cant see their every move. So I dont know what is going on out there. 6 months ago when she went into heat for some odd reason she didnt get pregnant. I dont know what went wrong...i dont know if it was him or her. We did notice 5 or 6 clots of blood about 2 weeks after she had finished her heat cylce. The smelled so bad. I am guessing she had a miscarriage or abortion. but why? I am really conserned because I dont know what I or they are doing wrong...HELP! [Confused]

Any kind of discharge from the vulva should have been investigated by the vets at the time, dogs do not normally abort unless something is wrong in the uterus.
A test used to be carried out years ago, but has slowly phased out nowadays, to make sure that the dogs were not carrying std's, yes dogs do have them.
You could try to mate again, they may not have tied the last time, unfortunately if you are serious about breeding you will have to keep an eye on them, count 12 days from when you first noticed the bleeding, then give or take a few for when you did'nt notice, and watch, the male will know anyway, she won't let him tie until she is ready, and will let the male certainly know about it.
