If I have a stud and a female in my house is it ok to let them mate as often as they want? E.g everyday she is on heat?

hm

Actually depends on the males and females. Some males might loose interest after a few times, females also in most cases might revoke the male. And also many of the matings might not even make any meaning if the female hasn't ovulated.
So if you're wanting to mate them daily to increase chances of taking in, simply get an ovulation test strip, it'll allow you know when she ovulates, and then even if you do one mating, she'll take in still.

What are the signs of ovulation and what simple test can be done to determine it

Thanks for your response. So I should take it that there are no disadvantages? or no such thing as excessive mating?

So long as they're married before mating. The bitch is his all night, together forever. But there's no point stressing the male when bitch hasn't ovulated, as a matter of fact, the bitch would possibly resist the male if she's not ready.

An ovulation detector/ test strip could help determine date of ovulation. Quite easy to use. .
Talk about signs, it's an internal ish, however, in some females, you see them flagging their tails, but nothing is cast in stone.

Can this strip be gotten from the average vet shops? and what's the cost please?

Yes it can. Its actually NGN400 per strip. But you can only use a strip once, so you might need about 10 or more or even less, depending on when she ovulates.
You could as well get the microscopic ovulation detector too, not a strip and can be used for every bitch
