Mike Neary Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 When does the time between heat cycles begin with a bitch that was bred, but did not settle? does it begin at the end of the previous heat cycle or at the time she should have whelped? Thanks for any info! mn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Maybe someone more knowledgable than me will answer this, but I normally count the next heat cycle from the time of the previous heat cycle. If she didn't get pregnant, then she's no different than if she'd never been bred at all, IMO, which would support counting from the heat cycle. And all non-bred dogs go through a false pregnancy anyway.... J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Neary Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 That's what I was thinking, Julie, but wasn't sure and couldn't find any info on it. mn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
workindogs Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I had a bitch that you could set your clock on.....6 months from the beginning of the heat cycle whether she had a litter of pups or not. They are all a little different but having pups didn't make a difference for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gideon's girl Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 My bitch was the same, 6 months like clockwork, pups didn't change that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
