me and a friend were talking we have both raised several litters of beagles in our life but neither of us are real good about keeping up with deatils like when our females are coming in and after they had a litter when they came in from that..problem is his best female is coming into heat now.RABBIT SEASON OPENS SAT!! if he was to breed her. For u that keep up with that stuff and hopefully someone does did it change the timing of her cycle any??

I guess I don't get what the Question is? Did her litter change her cycle? As all you men should know Females don't do anything on time to suit YOU! LOL Bitches heat cycles can be from 6 months to 9 months or longer.. its up to their body clocks. Try figuring that out!!!!!!! lmao!

My best dog is a young gip.
Rabbit season opened Saturday, I ran her in a field trial on Sunday.

I had a young lady handle her while I was out with my other dog.
I came back and the young lady says, "I think she is in heat".

I checked her and she was.
Go figure

That is why if you are going to run those dogs with the little V under their tails, you better have more than one good dog. You are guaranteed to lose 3 weeks of every rabbit season.

Her next heat cycle is timed out just right to keep her from running the World Hunt - gotta love that.

Ricky, most females will fall into heat every six months. I had one that had heat every four months just like clock work. Some only have one a year at the same time every year. Just get to know the females pattern, and write it down on the calender. Then you can keep up with it. Yes, breeding the bitch now could change her pattern. Most I dealt with came back into heat about four weeks after weaning the pups. So that would change the timing. Sorry yall missed the hunt last Sat. was a good one. Hope this info helps you.

Tommy, Is that a typo 4 weeks after weaning? I wean mine early at 5 weeks, but never had a female cycle when the pups were less than 14 weeks old. most seem to cycle 5 to 7 months after pups are born. I have 1 that cycles when the pups are 4 months old.

well i do know that vicks vapor rub works real well .if they won t stand u can get by with it as long as u stayclose enuf to the dog to keep an eye on that male ...but its really not a great idea.

Vicks burns. It would not be wise to put that on such a sensitive area of any dog. Just leave her home for 2 weeks and you'll be fine.

I've never herad of a spray that neutralizes heat odors, but you can try giving liquid chlorophyl. I get it in the health food store for $10. Mix about a tablespoon in with meat, or mine go crazy for anything dipped in bread! Give this daily until the bitch is out of heat and it will help tone down the odor. She should still be sepearted from males if you don't want an accidnetal breeding tho
