Dara is in her first heat! Started 2 days ago. And the boys are very interested. We have the licking grooming behaviour, and tramp that she is, she enjoys every moment of it!
She also wants Moms attention a lot. She goes between trying to be dominant to me, and submissive! LOL. She is trying to lap climb a lot, and when I vacant my chair happily jumps up into it! Oh and when she is free she decides she wants to lay by Magics crate ..... as I said she is a Tramp!
We shall see how she responds to the boys when she goes into standing heat, about one week from now. I will be watching very very carefully.
Already we are on crate and rotate. Feed/exercise separately etc.
Truly I don't mind the tramp business, it is a small indication of her willingness to breed, although she is a young gal and most certainly will not be bred.
I think she will make a good Mom, she is a dominant gal, but friendly and loving to her humans, and to all dogs she has met so far.
I think she will be very protective and loving of her puppies, which is a good indication of a good Mom. Much testing is yet to be done. Actually 7 Breed health tests, many of which can only start at or around 18months
