from what i noticed on 12/14/06 light markings and now it's 12/28/06.
thanks for looking.


1 week coming in to Season (the swelling)

1 week of showing color (you count from the 1st day of showing color)

1 week coming out (breeding time within this period)

Is the 14th when you noticed color. This is the 29th....she's probably not fertile anymore.

On an average most are fertile from the 10th day of the onset of showing color. Now this may not be the case.......The best way to determine her best time for breeding......and it's a pain.....is take her to vet and have her do a smear daily.......based on what he sees, he'll tell you when to breed.
