Why people work dogs instead of bitches

My SIL's WCS only has one season a year, she'd like to have a litter of pups then spay but the timing is wrong for her (Dec pups). So can someone tell me exactly what she could try to get the bitch to have an extra season earlier in the year. she's five, I think, very active and slim (bitch not SIL).

Not sure I’ll ever have another bitch, seasons are such a faff. Our entire collie bitch goes all daft when she is coming into season, gets clingy, won’t run out on a gather and seems extra sensitive. I’d have her spayed but OH is worried about any potential weight gain. It’s looking likely she’ll go with my older son when he leaves school and starts a shepherding job in a year or so anyway. I’ll be resisting any introduction of bitch pups from hereonin!

Pen is being completely pathetic at the moment. She is senstitive anyway, and now hangs around the house like a limp noodle. She won't get on out after wandering poults, and until now has been really promising. It will be her last season, 2nd Feb she is in for a spay. (Not booked yet, obviously, but the first day after shooting finishes).

If the pups would be born in December they would be new homes sort of March? That would be a great time for puppies, they get the whole spring and summer to grown and learn.
