That as well. I mean, the most nutrient rich bits of the food your giving your dogs. I have 5 at the mo so when sharing meat, carcasses, etc. Making sure the bitch gets the pick of what is available.

I used to mainly work two bitches and it made no difference, I can't see what you're concerned about.

I don't know why they'd say not, the whippets probably lose more blood from hunting around the blackberries than a cycle, lol.

Some don’t run as well when in season, and can become less soft (less conditioned) especially after the season. But unless your matching then carry on regardless, you should now your dog better than anyone to judge it’s condition. 
running 5 winter hares is different to marking a rabbit Warren,

I'd never want to run a bitch in heat, i'm told they develope fat around the heart when in season, but i must confess, a have done, many times ..
