    I have no place responding as I do not know however, I worked my bitch hard through heat just before the last show season. She was flaggin not a week before the show. If it is bad I would really like to know as well.

    there's no problem working them through there heat cycle . people may tell you there is but there's no difference .they usually come in when they get worked . unless you wait for their cycle to pass .

    You can after the heat, so if I could work her during it would make a difference. Thanks for the informative post tho

    There's no harm in humans working out during their heat cycle. So I don't see why not. LOL

    Im with Old Goat...Seems like every time i work a bitch she comes in heat unless i start one right after her cycle...almost everytime...i have noticed that they seem alot more active during the work when they are just coming in heat and tend to slow alittle for a few days when going out...I do not think there is a problem with working during a heat...i use a multi vitamin during keeps and i think it has alot to do with it

    More the managing/training of charges than thinking for them. +2 on what old goat said .... that might be a reason why more males where matched than females historically , no keep heat. Not sure if it's true with dog's but I know women will stop cycling after their body fat index fall's below 10-15%.
