How old is the bitch? has she ever been suppressed? not all greyhound bitches do have regular seasons, dont know how effective those jabs are now but have known them to bring them into season but does nt guarantee they will ovulate

As most racing greyhound bitches have their seasons supressed with Durateston (testosterone injections: male hormone) it can take some a long time to come into season and it can mess up their cycles forever. I know someone who routinely jabbed their bitch up for several years and had to wait forever for the bitch to come into season when they wanted to breed from her, and she never did get pregnant.

Rest and plump her up a little as the body will often hold off a season if the dog is running hard. Greys can throw odd seasons rather than regular, especially if there is a history of hormone treatment, and optimising her condition will increase the chances of a season.
