My bitch went into season last year on 25th September, she had a litter of puppies on 27th November. I missed her next season as I was in the states with a sick relative and my mother didn't know when she had her season. can i expect her to come into season the same time this year? or with her having a litter of puppies does it give her a whole new cycle starting when the puppies were delivered i.e november 25th?
THere's no rule. My girl had a pup last November and still hasn't had a season yet, not complaining though although I'd like her to have another season fairly soon.
Ellie came in a month later last time, then cycled at 8 months instead of 7 until the season where I planned to mate her again, where she went back to 7 months and scuppered all my carefully made plans! Be interesting to see what she does this time....
