Do bitches have seasons all their lives or do they stop after a certain age?
She always has a phantom pregnancy after every heat is there anything we can
do to stop/help this?

Depends on the type of spaying apparently.

In our compound we've got a bitch who was allegedly spayed
(in Switzerland). Twice a year all the males in the vicinity
show a more than passing interest in her butt. She, on the
other--uh, hand--shows no interest in the males and
aggressively rebuffs them.

It's apparently not uncommon in Europe to remove the uterus but
leave the ovaries when a bitch is spayed. This would explain
most of the behavior you're describing here - the exception
being that if she were coming into season there *ought* to be
a period where she's sexually receptive.

Spaying is the way to go. This will stop this from ever happening again.
