I can actualy tell about 1 to 2 weeks before my girls go into heat. My other girls actually sniff the others too...and when this is going on I know its soon. I have 2 studs , so they keep me very well informed

(My male is a 100 pound mutt and I am sure he will soon show interrest, but does that mean she's bleeding?) P.S.-Don't worry, I am not going to be breeding the 100 pound male to her!  |
