Maybe yes maybe no, maybe they were at the end of their heat or the beginning of it, and not in standing heat. There is a crescendo spiralling upwards from full male re-actions to female heat the apex is the standing heat time-frame, and then responses diminishes as the gal goes out of heat.
One good thing about having a full male in your home, you frequently know when your female is coming into heat
They usually signal subtle interest clues about one month ahead of heat. Of course as a breeder you track their heats on your calendar as well. And just like human females who long term lodge together, canine females tend to cycle together on their heats - days or maybe a week apart. Interesting.
