Subject: [weimaraner] Re: questions regarding silent heat and behavior

All the males in the class are altered and the rest are female. There
are only 6 dogs in the class at this point. Started with 10. Is it
normal for first heats to start silent ? Could her crazy behavior be
related to her being in heat ?
