Somewhereyournot 1,117 Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 When in season they have fat build up around organs and advised not to run hard. But some people don't go by it Quote Link to post

skycat 6,173 Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 While she's in season she'll be fine, and for about 3-4 weeks afterwards. After that is when they lay down fat and lose muscle tone. This corresponds with pregnancy, if she had been mated. Some bitches don't come fit again for up to 3 months, some even longer. I should know! I have one bitch who is a mass of blubber for a full 4 months from the start of her season. And it doesn't matter how much exercise I give her or how little I feed her. Bloody annoying. She's OK for a bit of mooching, but anything truly strenuous is a no-no. Quote Link to post

Dan25 87 Posted December 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Can they come in season for a few days then say s month later come in again for a few days Quote Link to post
tote 854 Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Steve2507 there's another option, you could suppress the bitches season, plenty of racing greyhound bitches get jabbed to stop them coming in season. Quote Link to post
slip lead 862 Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 You need to jab the bitch 10-14 day before they come into season, so only any good for bitches that are regular. If you do not wish to breed from the bitch get her spayed, it can also prevent heath problems in the future. Quote Link to post
tote 854 Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 I would've thought the idea was to stop them from breaking during the season [sept-March], in which case you'd only jab them when required. Quote Link to post
steve2507 522 Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 That's the thing she ain't regular and all though she has proved herself other seasons I can't say she a kills all season if she comes into season like she does ! Very frustrating as I know this bitch will kill anywhere and all game but she needs to be doing it regular ? Quote Link to post

skycat 6,173 Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Frustrating though it is I just put up with my bitches in season. I've tried all the methods of stopping their seasons and there are always side effects, at least I've noticed side effects varying from temperament changes to loss of drive, changes in appetite. It was the temperament changes that were the worst as my dogs live together in the house, and one bitch got very surly and miserable. Not saying that it affects every bitch, but not for me.

CraignTod 278 Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 My brook my bitch out for no more than 5 runs while she was in season but I could definitely see she was having to work harder than usual however, her appetite has changed dramatically since her season, she only eats once a day now instead of twice and she fussy. Maybe she's just fully grown as she just hit 12 months Quote Link to post
slip lead 862 Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Sometimes when you suppress a bitch coming into season, they can have a phantom pregnancy Quote Link to post
