My just over 1 year old GSP has started her 1st cycle, I did some quick research today and it seems its going to be about 3 weeks before its over. Im thinking the other dogs on opening day will have somethingelse on their minds besides Pheasants. Anyone out there have a similar experence? I want to have at least 1 litter of pups in a few years so I expect to be going through this more then once.
