If you have an entire bitch you will have dealt with seasons and the nuisance that prevents normal exercise. In New Zealand, bitches cannot enter trials during their season plus a 7 day clearance immediately afterwards and in 2 yo Mavis’s case this has been almost 30 days !
I do agreed that it’s an exceptionally sensible rule, aiming to prevent competitors dogs from being unfairly distracted and she was very obliging in her timing, loosing us just one weekend of trials. However, despite my efforts, after a month of self induced lethargy, she might as well have watched TV and eaten crisps every day as her fitness is zilch, so getting back to work needs some serious tackling. All tips gratefully received !! ...I guess the good thing is that handler will benefit too 😆.
