| yes, she can be fertile but I would not breed her. One of my dogs do the four month cycle and I do not breed her when she has just had babies. It is too hard on their little bodies, what with carrying babies and nursing then and etc. |

| Hey Dee i have a question (not trying to take over the thread) but have you ever seen a female switch heat cycles? My gidget used to go every 9 months, well she went 6 months this time (and we had babies, earlier then i had planned ) |

| Tammy, if my girls come four months after whelping, that makes them six months and I won't breed them then either. I skip that one. I just feel it is too much wear and tear on them. But now,if they are six months dogs and haven't been bred, then yes I breed them. |

| Are you positive she is in heat? Some females still have slight bloody discharge even 9 weeks after delivering. I have been breeding 12 years and have never had a female come in heat sooner than 6 months after delivering pups but I suppose it can happen. |
