Female dog heat
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? |

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. -- Bob Kanyak's Doghouse http://www.kanyak.com |

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. JFWIW, Dianne |

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