morton 5,368 Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Ive never stopped a bitch working when she,s been in season,ive never had a bitch that wanted to stop because of it.Whenever the dogs out the owner should be able to read the dog and its actions,notice any lack of desire etc. and then act accordingly,missing these tell tale signs the dog gives is what can cause any problems.

running addiction 207 Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 bitches build up layers of fat particularily around the heart when they come into season in preparation for pregnancy running a bitch in season can cause all sorts of problems, greyhounds are not allowed to race for i think 13 weeks from 'breaking', i wouldn't run a bitch after rabbits or any other prey for that matter 'in season'. i keep mines in trim stepping up the roadwork and monitoring food intake closely, this way they come back quicker and fitter. this is just the way i was taught and it's stood me well over the years wont go far wrong what bird dogs said and its 16 weeks from start to finsh befor a bitch is back to normal they start to carry milk and lose pace THEY CALL IT THE FLAT STOP the biggist injury a bitch will av I'd agree 16wk to get my bitch back on track daytime Quote Link to post
