Hi I have a 15 month old puppy that was due to go for a schooling trial this Sunday she is chasing fine on the lure and is a fine looking well bred pup,the question is she came into season last Friday,now what’s people’s thoughts on her having a sprint trial while in season,is it likely to do any harm or will it not bother her I have no knowledge of running a bitch in season and would greatly appreciate any feed back on the subject

Rule 56 of the G.B.G.B. Rules of Racing is entitled “Bitch – In season, not to run” which cuts pretty much straight to the chase.
“A bitch may not run in any trial or race after coming in season, for a minimum period of 21 Days nor until, in the opinion of the Racecourse Veterinary Surgeon, it is fit to do so subsequently”

Actually, you asked if it will do her any harm.
The answer is "yes, it COULD do her harm" ... when in season/milk the muscles in her back legs go soft, and over extending herself can damage them badly.
