Is The Young Bitch A Jaffer

[TOM HEAVY 140]

as the title states...

 

my young bitch now around 17-18 months of age still has not had its 1st season...

 

she is a saluki/deerhound/greyhound type and of course everyone knows deerhounds take longer to mature although i am not sure if this is normal??

 

its no skin off my nose because it now means i can keep the dogs together without any worries if indeed she is a jaffer

 

anyone had any dogs where they come late into season, how late was it and if not when should i pass her off as a jaffer???

It`s just that she`s not matured fully yet.She should come into season this summer.I`ve seen deerhound crosses have their 1st at 2 years old.

My bitch is 4 and only had 2 seasons first was 2 1/2 but sometimes if there fit they won't come into season she will probably come into season through the summer
