First, let's refrain from the lectures about getting a dog spayed or neutered. I am not looking to be a backyard breeder but one of my females pups who I have had and trained has a contract with the original breeder to produce a litter upon proper titling, etc.
I am a responsible dog owner and I know the risks associated with not spaying females so lets just not go into that as that is not the purpose of this topic.
The purpose of this topic is to ask and have a discussion regarding hunting a female who is in heat during the season. What are the signs that you guys/gals go by that would indicate it is all clear to bring your girl out of hiding after a heat cycle.
I have heard "tricks" of using vapor rub after week 3 to remove any scent.
Big no no to bring a gal who is finishing her heat cycle out?
Would hate to miss out on Pheasant opener next wknd but certainly not worth the risk of an accidental litter.
