Will a bitch come in to seasons generally speaking, 6 months after the whelping of her pups or 6 months from having her last season, which will be when she was mated?

Thanks for your help :)

6 months from har last season, i.e. at the time she would have done even without pups. :)

Doh, thought as much but a friend chucked the other theory in to my mind :)

Thanks for that ;)

My bitches have usually been at least a couple of weks later than if they had not had pups.

If they are normally 27 weeks from first day to first day, after a litter they have usually goen about 30 weeks, some more, especially as they get older.

Mine have always gone the same as if they didn't have litters.  Although one of my girls last year was 4 months late after a season where she wasn't mated :d
