Inevitablue Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I don't have my prefix yet so can't ask this in the breeders section. Out of curiosity, and I know bitches are all different, but would a bitch standing at day 20 surprise you? or is it normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebanne Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) plenty of people here to tell you that it is totally normal and that bitches don't read the books :D any bitch I have had dealings with has been off by day 20 but there's still time to get a late "bloomer" :) eta unless things have changed you can start a topic in the breeders forum and answer in that thread only before getting your prefix Edited June 27, 2012 by Rebanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allerzeit Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Feonix was mated last year on, from memory, days 18 and 20 - she was so frustrating, considering I had to fly with her from Hobart to Melbourne - we seemed to spend forever prog testing until she finally started to climb!!

dancinbcs Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I've know of several bitches to not be ready until at least day 18-20 and even had one mated successfully on days 27,28 and 29. Most of mine were never ready until day 14 at the earliest. On the other hand I have know of them to be ready as early as day 3. Seasons last 2 to 4 weeks and they are ready when they are ready.

Alyosha Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 One of mine was recently still standing well over 20 days. Whether or not she would have still conceived I don't know - I wasn't going to risk it!!! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
