| How many heats do you wait until next breeding? Just out of curiousity....how many heat cycles do you wait until you breed your female again? I've heard skip a heat, breed two heats then sit out one. I thought this would be a good thread.... |

| It depends on how often the gal heats. If she heats every 6 monthes than I would breed her every other heat. One litter a year seems enough to me. I have a gal that heats every 10 monthes and I'm trying to decide whether we should skip this one or not, she's healthy as a horse!

| There is no set rule.....first and foremost is the health & welfare of the female. Taking her to the vet after weaning of the last litter and prior to breeding of her next...will help determine whether she is physically healthy enough to be breed on back to back litters.

BANNED! | I do the same, but most important is the health of your female. If she doesn't bounce back to optimun health its best to skip after just 1 litter if necessary. Mine usually come into heat every 8 to 9 mths. |
