All 3 of my girls came into heat the last week of June and first 2 weeks of July. With Megan and Maddie it was very obvious they were in full heat but with Molly it was very subtle...behavior changes, a little swelling, no obvious bleeding. Now, about 2 months later, Molly is in full heat. Although I've never dealt with this before I believe she is having a split heat and I have a couple of questions.

1. Is the female as fertile in a split heat as she is in a full heat or is it different in any way as far as breeding goes?

2. Will she pull Megan and Maddie into heat again?

3. Should the male be as interested in her with a split heat as he is with a full heat? He was showing some interest last week but now that she's actually bleeding he is showing no interest so far.

4. Even though I noticed subtle indications that Molly was in heat the last week of June is it possible that she was just reacting to the hormonal changes of Megan and Maddie and that this is actually Molly's first heat?
