No probs Allan, probably won't be spaying her to be honest because i may want a litter from her in 3 years time, I'm undecided yet , yes she's in season every 6 month last time was at the end of feb, good timing really, I can cope with the hormones of a dog as I've had the experience of my gf going through 2 pregnancies haha and I tell you nothing compares to that
