And in answer to your question. It's very dependent on how your female behaves during her heat cycle.....If the harmones are real wacko, and she becomes coy and refuses show....well you can't force her. If her heat cycle doesn't change her personality, then show her. But, becareful that she doesn't drive the boys nuts.
Actually you usually see more females in the ring. What you do see is more male Specials, because the breeding time line for a female is less. |
She is on the other side of the country to me, so being my mentor would be difficult at best.
Thanks for the DVD info Mardelin & the confirmation stacking info Gemy. I've been reading a lot, & those kind of things were my next questions...lol.
