Question
hi my bitch gave birth on the 6th nov to 11 healthy pups how long is it when they come in season ? as i have the dog and i want to keep them well apart dont want them to mate again thanks?

Answer
It depends. How long does she normally go in between seasons? If she usually goes 6 months, then she'll probably go 6 months in between heat cycles now. If she's a larger dog, she may only go in every 8 months, or up to a year. It just depends on what your dog normally does.
