Most betta species should not be put together until both male and female are actually ready to mate. Most I've seen about them suggests a hurricane lamp glass set inside the males tank, placing the female inside of it and judging how 'ready' she is while she's in there before releasing her in with the male. Even putting her back into the glass if she's not ready once you do.

At the moment I only have 4 veiltail males. Once I get my 'fish room' set up I want to invest in non store bought quality betta and attempt breeding them.

Search 'breeding bettas' online.

Here is two of a the betta links I have bookmarked.

Betta Talk -- great place for information and top quality bettas (these are not the store bought betta for a couple bucks!)

there are two types of bettas ones that use bubble nesters and other the are mouthbrooders. the bubble nesters are very aggressive while the mouthbrooders are not.
