a quick question

[Chestersmummy]

I am re homing a jrt bitch. She has just had her first litter of pups (9 weeks old) so we won't be getting her for a few weeks.
The question is how soon is her next heat likely to be?

From memory twice a year, so expect the next one roughly six months after. May be wrong but just Google it. Good luck with her!

average is twice in three years so that works out about every 3 months BUT that's an average, some bitches can come into season once a year some every 6 months and some could just be completely random e.g. 6months then a year etc.! Sorry not particularly helpful but really the answer is that she could come into season any time from roughly 6 months onwards and it could (unlikely but it could) be less than that

Average is heat every 24 - 28 weeks so if the last heat started 19 weeks ago she could be due early December.

Why do you have to wait if the pups are nine weeks?
Best to book a spay for as soon as the mammaries recede but the pups should already be off her at nine weeks old.
