Bitches chuck their coat 4 months after their season, Siska came in season in early to mid-March, so here we are almost Mid-July, and with Leeds Champ show in less than 2 weeks, today she has tufts on her back legs. If only predicting the impending season was as easy. If Siska timing is going to be predictable, it will be late October to Mid-November as she always went just over 7.5 months, but of course her last 2 seasons have been out of time, going 6 months then 9 months. So she does seem to have a cycle of 15 months for 2 seasons, I really hope she holds out now till the middle of October ... but I'll be watching Orin from September onwards.
Have I decided on a stud? No, I still have Wally, Vesco and Benzes in the running. I have had someone in my ear about Wally and his breeding, all very positive, and someone in my ear about the fact that someone else, who has been very kind to me, has lost his lines to Sisco ... reminding me that Vesco had originally come into the country to compliment those lines. Benzes is so far away, but I honestly shouldn't let that deter me if he is the right dog, I'm sure I'd find someone to help me. Of course with time on my hands, something else could catch my eye too. So no decisions made!
