Any idea how soon bitches can come in season again after having a litter, then the weaning off  then the milk drying up etc...always had boys never had a girlie so all advice very much appreciated...

Kathryn, Usually a bitch will come back in to a normal season.  She will come into season 6 months from season, not 6 months from having pups and weaning, does that make sense. :)  Basically, expect her to come into season when pups are around 3.5 to 4 months old

Thanks Kaye, yes that makes sense.:)
