My beagle came into her first heat when she was 9 months old. She is now one year old (to the day) and came into heat again! Is this unusual? Will this heat last a short/longer time?

wierdest thing that ever happened to me was with my first beagle i ever owned,she had a litter of pups,then when she got them welped,about two months later,she had another litter

i had one to come in heat like that here while back i bred her on the 2nd heat cycle but she didnt take she was 4 years old i know another guy that had one do that too n he bred his female on the second heat cycle the dog died during whelping n all the pups dont know if her being bred the second cycle had anything to do with her death or not jb

I have 1 that comes in every 4 months or when a big hunt is scheduled, which ever comes first.

Dad had a bitch that came in every 3 months,seemed like she was in heat all the time.

How long was the pups left on her to whelp?

Very strange. I have never heard of something like this. could possibly be she had a split heat and ovulated twice but, it sounds highly unlikely. Not calling anyone crazy just very unlikely.

Can anyone say impossible?? Wouldnt the first litter only be 8 weeks old???

My math might be off,but if he weaned them at 6 wks,that would make roughly 3 1/2 mths from breeding to whelp 1st litter,now if he took them at 8 weeks that is 4 mths from 1st breeding on 1st litter.She would have had to have been in heat at 3 1/2 to 3 3/4 mths,so she was milking and bleeding at the same time,gives a new meaning to the word RABBIT DOG,a litter every 3 weeks or in this case every 4 mths(3 litters a yr)

I'll tell you what, Ol' Lynn is one sharp feller. Honestly, I would have never been able to figure that out but I never claimed to be the sharpest tool in the shed.LOL
