hmmm. interesting. i have never heard this before, and i dont know if it rings true.

I am interested in what others have to say....like Selzer.

me too if it is true i also wonder why? because i heard that females in heat are aggressive towards each other. My friend breeds chows for show says his females that may not like people that much (as in wanna be hugged or pet) will love them when in heat.

i know when cats go into heat, they'll often go after anything male lol. could be the same way with dogs. When Mia and Shelby were in heat they just wanted to sleep and kept their distance from the other dogs so my experience is no. lol. who knows. breeders! please chime in. i'm curious on this as well.

sorry he meant it went both ways not just male humans but also women i missunderstood what he said but asked him again he said they will often seek out attenion from a stranger and enjoy it

still an interesting question.

well, I know that when Freya was in heat, she loved EVERYONE. Plus, she was quite persistent about it!

My Babsy was in heat when she was soliciting pets from a perfect stranger. The little Hussy. However Babsy is not necessarily that sweet with dogs that are jumping all over the place trying to mount her. I mean, I can take her anywhere, dog shows, etc, but about 1 week before she goes into heat, she wants no part of males (dogs) getting close to her.

And when she gets to that receptive part of her heat cycle, she is ok with the dogs unless they are incredibly clumsy and have to climb all over her. Than she just wants to eat them. Needless to say, we muzzle her, to protect the dog.

But with people she is probably more lovey when she is in heat. Heidi is, but she generally pretty much likes people. Jenna is the same. As I have not tried to breed any of my other dogs, and they are quarantined at home when they are in heat, I do not know if they are sweeter with strangers during this time.

What is interesting is that Heidi and Ninja HATE each other. But there are a few days when Heidi will flag for NINJA of all dogs and allow her to, well, groom her.

I think I need a dog. I mean, usually dogs let you know who is in, who is out, and who is ready NOW. I have to rely on my girls to do this without a male.

I don't know if they are more friendly when in heat, but when Abby is pregnant she is much more loving and snuggly. Normally she is a very aloof dog towards everyone, but when pregnant she becomes little Miss Snuggles.
