More Text Book Findings

Leave it to our sweet and adorable Colada to fill all of the "could" items in the breeding dogs textbooks. We have grown so accustom to the norm with our other females that her "as early as 6 months" heat arrival threw us. But now after 6 weeks and her still enticing the boys, I had to go back to the books.

Normally, the 21ish day cycle's 2nd phase of standing heat begins around day 10. This is also when J.B. tells us the girls are ready by screaming, whining and jumping to get at them. I wondered why we had blood and no J.B. antics 4 weeks ago but thought maybe his sniffer was off. When the other boys went into overdrive last week, that's when I drug out the books. Colada's first heat is a "split heat". She never ovulated the first time. So she has about 1 week to go of her actual heat! Of course she has company right now. Baby is smack-dab in the middle of her standing heat now too!
