Heat cycle

[JazzysMom]

@Quercus:

Several of my girls have had years where they had two seasons. It seems like the more females we have, the less we have multiple seasons. And they don't always seem to be six months apart either….

Hmmm, that would make sense in the wild, I suppose. If there are fewer females, they'd need an additional heat season to continue to reproduce at
a rate that would maintain the pack. Or maybe not. :rolleyes:

Jazzy's heats were not 6 mos apart. Like I said, she was Spring and Fall.
She'd go maybe May/August-September. I don't recall exactly, but they were pretty close.

And many of them that have spring seasons are in a false season too. I had that happen with Mickii, many bitches will have a "puppy" season 4 to 6 months after whelping, Maggii did and Mickii followed her in, we tried to bred Mickii that spring and it was a false season. She came back in October and was bred.
